Will there be a series 3 of Malpractice?

The show has adopted an anthology format - with different cases taking the focus each season. It leaves plenty of room for it to continue beyond series two.

Grace Ofori-Attah, creator of Malpractice, has spoken about the potential for season three. Telling RadioTimes: “I've always got ideas. If ITV wants to give me some more series, then I will definitely come up with some stories for them.

"I would love to see Norma and George just come back time and time again and become a real staple of UK TV, I would really love that."

ITV has yet to announce if there will be a third series of Malpractice.
