Returning: The Good Karma Hospital

Season 2 of UK drama The Good Karma Hospital begins on ABC next week, featuring Amrita Acharia as Dr. Ruby Walker, hoping to make a fresh start at an under-resourced hospital in South India.

This debuts in the UK tomorrow.

A year after Ruby Walker arrived in India, her journey at the Good Karma Hospital continues.

The formidable Dr Lydia Fonseca is, as ever, a force to be reckoned with and she has big plans for Ruby. Lydia is determined to kick Ruby out of her comfort zone and develop her skills as a doctor.

Ruby’s confidence has grown but she’s about to face a huge test. Ruby handles a complex medical case, as a storm hits Barco and the hospital’s generator fails. Will Ruby decide to operate on her patient by candle light and with no monitors? It’s a test that would shake the most experienced of doctors. And it will leave Lydia wondering if she pushed Ruby too far too soon.

Ruby’s love affair with her new home continues. She has moved in to her own flat in the hustle and bustle of Barco central and she feels more at home, with the heat and the noise. But Ruby will also connect with her Indian heritage in a surprising way when a long-lost relative gets in touch. Ruby’s discovery will bring her closer to Dr Gabriel Varma as their sparky working relationship promises to develop into something deeper.

In series two, Lydia, Ruby and the rest of the Good Karma team will forge deeper bonds and come to understand that, through good times and bad, they can always rely on each other.

8:15pm Saturday March 31 on ABC.
