What’s Dr. Death?

The joy of an Anthology series is the freedom to explore variations on a theme. Dr. Death is a show about systemic failures, and this season, these issues reach a global scale. Amid complex narratives, we’ve been fortunate to delve deeply into a story that, while entirely unique, remains surprisingly familiar, as it taps into a truly universal part of the human condition: illness. Even putting aside any recent global pandemics, we all know what it’s like to feel sick. It renders us vulnerable, small, and in desperate need of help. A doctor we can trust.

This pursuit of trust and truth is what ties our two stories together this season. Two stories that, on the surface, may not seem to have much else in common: Doctors in Sweden on the verge of a breakthrough. A journalist in New York falling in love. However, both revolve around individuals made to feel small. They’re about people standing up to something bigger, for something bigger, and how their seemingly small choices ripple out into the world to give power and voice to those who have been made to feel powerless and silenced. These are stories that you don’t think could happen to you until you watch this season of Dr. Death. We truly hope you enjoy it.

Dr. Death Season 2 will be written and executive-produced by showrunner Ashley Michel Hoban, who will also be responsible for the show’s overall production. The upcoming season will focus on the “Miracle Man” storyline, which is inspired by the events of the podcast’s latest third season.

The executive producers of the next installment include Patrick Macmanus, Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, Taylor Latham, Aaron Hart, Hernan Lopez, Marshall Lewy, and Linda Gase. The directing duties for the upcoming project will be undertaken by Jennifer Morrison and Laura Belsey.
