Peacock announced that two-time Emmy® nominee Edgar Ramirez (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, The Undoing, Florida Man) will star in the highly-anticipated second season of the anthology series, DR. DEATH.
Ramirez will play Paolo Macchiarini, a visionary surgeon whose innovative organ transplants seduced the global medical community. When his fiancé, Benita, and a few suspicious colleagues launch investigations into his botched surgeries, cracks start to appear in Paolo’s charming persona.
Season two will be from showrunner, writer, and executive producer Ashley Michel Hoban (Dr. Death S1, The Girl from Plainville). Season one’s showrunner, executive producer and writer Patrick Macmanus (The Girl from Plainville) will executive produce season two, via his Littleton Road Productions banner, under his overall deal with UCP.
