Doctor Foster: A Woman Scorned

Doctor Foster is a BBC One drama television series that was first broadcast on 9 September 2015. The five-part series, written by Mike Bartlett, is about Dr Gemma Foster, who suspects that her husband is having an affair. After she follows several lines of enquiry, far more in her life unravels, including a streak of violence below the surface. The storyline was inspired by the ancient myth of Medea, a wronged wife who poisons her husband's new bride and kills their children. The second series started on 5 September 2017 and concluded on 3 October 2017. A third series is highly anticipated, but the future of the series has not been confirmed since the end of the second series in 2017.
