Trailer for the Chilling Hurricane Katrina Hospital Thriller Series FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL Starring Vera Farmiga
Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for a new mini-series titled Five Days at Memorial. This series is a hospital thriller that tells the chilling true story of the aftermath that Hurricane Katrina had on a local hospital. It seems like such a nightmarish situation to be in!
The series is based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sheri Fink, and it “chronicles the impact of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath on a local hospital. When the floodwaters rose, power failed and heat soared, exhausted caregivers at a New Orleans hospital were forced to make decisions that would follow them for years to come.”
This story is pretty crazy, as a doctor and two nurses were charged with intentionally killing patients with injections before the hospital was evacuated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The whole thing was certainly a traumatic experience.
The series cast include Vera Farmiga, Cherry Jones, Robert Pine, Cornelius Smith Jr., Julie Ann Emery, and Adepero Oduye.
Five Days at Memorial was created by Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel, The Strain, The Colony, Locke & Key, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan) and John Ridley (Barbershop, American Crime, Guerilla). The series will premiere on Apple TV+ starting August 12th, 2022.
