Riveting Second Trailer for Limited Series DOPESICK Featuring Star-Studded Cast Led by Michael Keaton
A second trailer has been released for the Opioid crisis series Dopesick, starring Michael Keaton, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, Will Poulter, John Hoogenakker, Kaitlyn Dever, and Rosario Dawson, as well as guest stars Phillipa Soo and Jake McDorman. This trailer dives deeper into the background of Oxycontin, the people hired to market it, the doctors who were lured into trusting it, and the patients who lived and died trying to recover from it.
Here’s the synopsis:
Dopesick examines how one company triggered the worst drug epidemic in American history. The series takes viewers to the epicenter of America’s struggle with opioid addiction, from the boardrooms of Purdue Pharma, to a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA. The unsparing yet deeply human portraits of the various families affected by Oxycontin addiction and their intersecting stories hold up a mirror to this American tragedy, while shining a hopeful light on the heroes battling the craven corporate forces behind this national crisis.
This looks like it’s going to be a great series. It’s a tough and personal story to tackle, but it must be told. Check out the new trailer and poster below, and watch Dopesick weekly on Hulu beginning on October 13, 2021.
