Keep scrolling as we’ve handpicked the best shows to watch out for over the coming months.
Malpractice
Finally after a patient wait from fans, the hit medical drama returns for series two.
Actor Tom Hughes will play Dr Tom Ford who finds himself caught up in tragic circumstances after a busy shift.
Fans will watch as Dr Norma Callahan (Helen Behan) and Dr George Adjei (Jordan Kouamé) of the Medical Investigation Unit are called in to investigate Dr Ford’s actions.
As the investigation closes in, it remains to be seen if Dr Ford can save his career in a hospital that appears to be at war with itself.
Code of Silence
Strictly star Rose-Ayling Ellis leads the cast for this brand new, gripping drama from ITV.
Drawing from her own experience with hearing loss and lip-reading, Catherine Moulton penned the series.
Rose will play Alison Brooks who is a strong and independent deaf woman, who spent years working in the police canteen.
But her life takes an unexpected turn when her exceptional lip-reading abilities are picked up by DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Ritchie) and DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan) leading her to join an active case.
Alison is tasked with surveilling a dangerous gang as they plot a high-stakes heist, thrusting her into a world of crime, deception, and risk like never before.
Grace
Grace returns with four brand new feature-length films later this year as John Simm reprises his role.
Also returning for the fifth series is Richie Campbell, Laura Elphinstone, Brad Morrison and Sam Hoare.
A teaser from ITV reads: “It’s over two months since the suicide of Grace’s ex-wife Sandy, and Grace’s son Bruno (Finn Guegan) has come to the UK to live with his grandparents while Grace and Cleo (Zoë Tapper) confront the aftermath of a profound personal loss.
“As Roy navigates moving forward, he faces stakes higher than ever as his team tackles a terrifying incident at a football stadium, a crime of passion which isn’t what it seems, a murder with an unsettling secret at its heart and a trial linked to a ruthless drugs empire.”
Ridley
Also returning for its second series on ITV is Ridley as Adrian Dunbar reprises his role.
Away from his Line of Duty role, Adrian plays the police detective as he resumes his relationship with former protégée DI Carol Farman, played by Bronagh Waugh.
The second series will consist of four episodes as the original team all return – as Terence Maynard, George Bukhari, Georgie Glen, Bhavna Limbachia and Julie Graham reprise their roles.
Guest starring in the first episode are John Henshaw and Christine Bottomley.
A teaser reads: “Ridley starts to investigate when a jewellery heist turns violent and the thieves take off with their stolen loot.
“After an interested party is killed in broad daylight, Ridley and Carol have a race against time to discover the identity of the criminal mastermind behind the whole operation.
“Will the team be able to bring them to justice before more blood is spilled?”
One Night
One Night tells the story of three women whose bond together was destroyed thanks to the events of one night 20 years.
Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker leads the cast for the new show.
The story will see Nicole da Silva’s character Nicole who has dreamed about becoming a writer.
But in her 40s she finally takes the plunge – and writes the one story she could never get out of her mind and her debut manuscript has become an unexpected overnight success.
Yael Stone also stars in the series as it becomes clear that Simone’s story also belongs to her two childhood friends.
Suspicion
Uma Thurman plays a prominent US businesswoman whose son is kidnapped from a New York hotel.
Four seemingly ordinary British tourists are under suspicion of being behind the crime after being at the hotel at the same time as the kidnapping.
Teasing the new drama, ITV said: “As they find themselves in a trans-Atlantic cat and mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted.
“Who is really behind the mysterious abduction, and who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?”
