Dr. Death Trailer

Stan reveals spine-tingling trailer for brand new drama series Dr. Death, based on the acclaimed true crime podcast and following the nightmarish true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch.

Stan announced the brand new true crime drama series Dr. Death, starring Joshua Jackson (The Affair), Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) and Alec Baldwin (The Departed) will premiere soon only on Stan – and released the chilling trailer for the series, alongside first look images of the all-star cast.

Based on Wondery's hit podcast, Dr. Death is inspired by the terrifying true crime 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 defenceless among us.

Dr. Death comes exclusively to Stan through its partnership with NBCUniversal. The series will premiere as a Peacock Original limited series in the United States.

The series features an all-female directing team, including Maggie Kiley (Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story, Riverdale), who will also executive produce the first two episodes, Jennifer Morrison (One of Us is Lying, Euphoria) and So Yong Kim (Lovesong, Grand Army).

Dr. Death is executive produced by Patrick Macmanus (The Girl from Plainville) via his Littleton Road Productions banner, and under his overall deal with UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Macmanus also serves as showrunner. 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.
