DR. DEATH Renewed for a Second Season at Peacock Focusing on New Medical True Crime Story
Dr. Death has been renewed for a second season at Peacock, and the show will focus on a new medical true crime story in Season 2. The first season focused on the case of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, and the show will now take on an anthology format and follow a new case each season.
Season 2 will tell the story of Paolo Macchiarini, a charming surgeon renowned for his innovative operations that earn him the nickname “Miracle Man.” When investigative journalist Benita Alexander approaches him for a story, the line between personal and professional begins to blur, changing her life forever. As she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets, a group of doctors halfway across the world make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything about the “Miracle Man” into question.
Patrock Macmanus created Dr. Death, serving as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on Season 1. He will continue to serve as an executive producer on Season 2 under his overall deal with UCP. Ashley Michel Hoban, who worked on Season 1 as a writer and producer, will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on Season 2. The show is based on the Wondery podcast of the same name.
