Joining Dr Lydia on duty with be junior doctor Ruby Walker, played by Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones), who recently tweeted a pic of herself with her co-stars.
Amrita's character, Ruby, arrives in India looking for a different life following heartbreak.
“Ruby is thinking sunshine, palm trees and glorious beaches – maybe even some sacred cows, tuk-tuks and Delhi belly,” says a show insider.
“What she gets is the harsh realities of life, work and love at the over-worked and under-financed Good Karma Hospital.
“The series mixes heart-breaking drama with humour in a hospital that is also a home.”

The Good Karma Hospital will start on ITV in 2017.
