The initial season of "Team Batista" aired on Fuji TV in late 2008 and pulled in strong ratings, leading to a follow-up last October in the special episode "Nightingale no Chinmoku."
The dramas were based on the first two novels in a best-selling medical mystery series by writer Takeru Kaido.
Both "Team Batista no Eiko" and "General Rouge no Gaisen" have also been adapted as a feature films, starring Yūko Takeuchi and Hiroshi Abe.
Fuji TV will broadcast "Team Batista 2: General Rouge no Gaisen" on Tuesdays at 10:00pm, beginning on April 6.
New cast members this time include Hidetoshi Nishijima, Ai Kato and Miho Shiraishi.
