The Good Karma Hospital season 4 cast
It looks like most of your favourite characters will be back for more drama, as ITV has confirmed that Amanda Redman, Amrita Acharia, Neil Morrissey, Darshan Jariwala and Nimmi Harasgama will all return to the series.
There will also be some new faces this time around with Harki Bhambra (whose credits include Our Girl and Call the Midwife) joining the cast as surgeon Dr Samir Hasan. Samir is described as 'high-flying' and 'charismatic' but has left Britain 'for reasons that prove too traumatic to share'.
Rebecca Ablack (Ginny & Georgia, Let It Snow) plays another new doctor, Dr Nikita 'Niki' Sharma, who is young, confident and dynamic. She is also newly qualified and the daughter of a highly successful surgeon.
Guest stars in the Good Karma Hospital cast this year include Raquel Cassidy (Downton Abbey, Teachers), Ace Bhatti (Line of Duty, Baptiste, Alex Rider), Connor Catchpole (Enola Holmes, Pursuit of Love), Chetna Pandya (Feel Good, This Way Up) and Jonas Khan (Our Girl, The Ipcress File).
Is there a trailer for The Good Karma Hospital season 4?
There's no official trailer available for season four just yet, but we'll upload it here as soon as one is released.
What will happen in The Good Karma Hospital season 4?
Plot details are in currently in short supply for the new episodes, but series three ended with Dr Gabriel Varma declaring his love for Ruby (yay!) and then leaving both her and the hospital (boo!). We're not sure if he's gone for good though, so we'll see what season four brings.
The new cast announcements (see above) suggest we'll be spending the first couple of episodes getting to know some interesting new characters, as well as catching up with old favourites.
