Peacock’s Dr. Death series premiered at Tribeca last night. But if you weren’t lucky enough to be part of that audience, don’t worry. You can also get a new look at the series right now.
The limited drama dropped a new trailer, as well as key art. Watch the trailer below for your new sneak peek at the series:
Dr. Death is based on the hit Wondery podcast inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch. Young, charismatic and ostensibly brilliant, Dr. Duntsch was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed. Patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and left permanently maimed or dead. As victims piled up, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby, as well as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart, set out to stop him.
Dr. Death explores the twisted mind of Dr. Duntsch and the failures of the system designed to protect the most defenseless among us. It aims to explore the ‘why’ behind his horrendous operations, as well as the broken healthcare system that allowed him to slip through the cracks.
The series stars Joshua Jackson as Dr. Duntsch. Alec Baldwin also stars as Dr. Henderson, with Christian Slater playing Dr. Kirby. AnnaSophia Robb plays prosecutor Shughart.
Patrick Macmanus serves as showrunner and executive producer. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and Taylor Latham also executive produce via Escape Artists, as well as Hernan Lopez and Marshall Lewy of Wondery.
The show also features an all-female directing team, including Jennifer Morrison and So Yong Kim. Maggie Kiley will also direct, as well as executive produce the first two episodes.
All eight episodes of Dr. Death arrive on Peacock July 15.
