Dodgy doctors and medical malpractice return in the first trailer for Trust Me season 2, which aired last night on BBC One. If you missed it, you can watch the promo clip right here…
Created and written by Dan Sefton, Trust Me debuted in 2017, with its first series focusing on a whistleblowing-nurse-turned-fake-doctor played by Jodie Whittaker. With Whittaker now busy in Doctor Who, a brand new cast will carry forward the show into its second season.

The Beeb’s official press bumf offers this summary of the show
“Set on the neurological unit of Glasgow Hospital, Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, How to Get Away with Murder) will star as Corporal Jamie McCain, a survivor of a shock enemy attack. Recovering from a spinal injury which has left him temporarily paralysed, Jamie faces a new enemy as fellow patients on the ward die unexpectedly around him. […]
“As Jamie obsessively searches for the truth, his investigation drags him and the clinical staff into their own unnerving nightmares. But with his behaviour becoming increasingly erratic, is the threat real or imagined and is Jamie a man we can trust?
“Full of tension, twists and turns, the shocking new series also stars John Hannah (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Spartacus) as clinical lead, Archie Watson, a doctor, whose awkward persona hides a seedier and more sinister side. Ashley Jensen (Extras, Catastrophe) will play Debbie, a seemingly unimpeachable physiotherapist who is fiercely committed to her patients. However, there is a vulnerability to Debbie which makes her perfectly susceptible to being manipulated by a close colleague…”
Trust Me season 2 doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but we’ll let you know when the BBC announces it.
