Will there be a series 5 of The Good Karma Hospital?

Though the fourth season has only just begun, creator and writer Dan Sefton has already teased the possibility of a fifth series.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com he confirmed he had “no clue” what’s next for Dr Lydia Fonseca and her team, before saying that it would continue “as long as people want to watch it”.

“These shows always get to an interesting place. We know what the show is. And from a creative point of view, once you know that, you keep going for as long as people are enjoying watching it, and the people who pay the money are happy to put their hands in their pockets,” he said.

Sefton added: “I think that’s the situation we’re in. I think that the show is a very clear proposition.

“And it’s got a loyal fan base who are hugely appreciative of it, and as long as people want to watch it, I think it will be made.

“And I think we will continue to evolve it gradually as seasons go by, but we don’t need to reinvent everything.”
