Sex Education and Raised by Wolves stars' new medical thriller trailer
A trailer has dropped for a new, intense ITV medical thriller called Malpractice starring Sex Education's James Purefoy and Raised by Wolves actor Niamh Algar.
The five-part series will follow Dr Lucinda Edwards (Niamh Algar), an experienced doctor, on a shift from hell that culminates in the death of an opioid overdose victim, Edith Owusu.
Although Edwards has a supportive medical supervisor, Dr Leo Harris (James Purefoy), the grieving father of the victim, Sir Anthony Owusu (Brian Bovell), orders an investigation into Edwards' efforts to treat his daughter.

The investigation takes a toll on Edwards' career, life and marriage to husband Tom (Lorne MacFadyen), with cracks starting to appear the longer the investigation continues.
The thirty-second teaser trailer will surely set viewers' hearts racing as Edwards is seen running around the hospital, trying to survive high-pressure situations.
