Age of The Nerd
Season seven of of SeriesFest is underway. One of the highlights was a behind the scenes talk between cast and creators for the upcoming show Dr. Death which will be premiering on Peacock. The show will star Joshua Jackson, Christian Slater, and AnnaSophia Robb.
Based on Wondery’s hit podcast, DR. DEATH is inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), a rising star in the Dallas medical community. 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 (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), as well as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), 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.
The show will be released on Peacock on July 15th on Peacock.
Check out an interview with Joshua Jackson on lessons learned while portraying Dr. Kirby.
