Atticus Ross (The Social Network, Soul, Gone Girl, Watchmen, Mank, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Leopold Ross (The Book of Eli, Earthquake Bird, Broken City) & Nick Chuba (Operation Varsity Blues) are scoring the new Peacock original series Dr. Death. The show is based on Wondery’s hit podcast and stars Joshua Jackson, Grace Gummer, AnnaSophia Robb, Christian Slater and Alec Baldwin. The drama is inspired by the true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, a rising star in the Dallas medical community who was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed when patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and left permanently maimed or dead. Patrick Macmanus (Happy!, Marco Polo) serves as the project’s showrunner and is also executive producing the UCP production with Escape Artists’ Todd Black & Jason Blumenthal (The Pursuit of Happyness, Servant), Steve Tisch (Forrest Gump, The Equalizer) & Taylor Latham, as well as Wondery’s Hernan Lopez and Marshall Lewy. Dr. Death will premiere next Thursday, July 15 exclusively on Peacock.
