'Doctor Foster' Season 2 Spoilers: Jodie Comer Teases Big 'Shift' For New Series

’Doctor Foster’ star Jodie Comer has revealed a huge spoiler about the upcoming second series.

The actress has confirmed the new episodes will pick up the story two years after the series one finale, when Gemma Foster (Suranne Jones) exposed her husband’s affair with Jodie’s character, Kate Parks, during a dinner party.

Jodie has told Digital Spy the time jump will give the BBC drama “a definite shift in energy” when it returns next year.

“The amazing thing about series one was the build-up,” she said.

“It was such a build-up to that final episode, but that’s happened now and the story’s moved on.

“People have changed, time has passed – we pick up the series two years later on.”

Jodie also revealed series two will also give viewers the chance to get to know her character a little better.

She said: “On a personal level, what’s exciting for me is people will actually get to know Kate as a person. She is just known as ‘the other woman’ – so I think it’s quite cool to come back and hopefully maybe give people a different perspective.”

Over 10 million viewers tuned into series one finale, which saw Simon Foster (Bertie Carvel) assault his wife after he thought she had harmed their son in the wake of his affair being exposed.

Viewers then saw the cheating husband making a new life with Kate and their unborn child, which she had decided to keep.

Former ‘Coronation Street’ star Suranne previously teased the second series when it was announced last November, stating: “After discussions with Drama Republic and the wonderful Mike Bartlett I am thrilled to announce we will all be reunited to tell Gemma’s next chapter, and I can’t wait for the audience who invested in these characters to find out what explosive twists and turns Mike has in store.
