Hubert Point-Du Jour portrays Josh Baker, the O.R. nurse at Dallas Medical Center who is the first to bring Duntsch’s disastrous surgical misadventures to the attention of Henderson and Kirby. Dr. Death is based on Wondery’s hit podcast of the same title and will also tell the horrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch. The new Peacock original began streaming on Thursday, July 15.

Based on Wondery’s hit podcast, DR. DEATH is inspired by the terrifying true 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 defenseless among us.
