Major casting news!<\/p>\n

Jamie Dornan<\/a><\/strong>, Alec Baldwin<\/a><\/strong> and Christian Slater<\/a><\/strong> are set to star in UCP’s TV adaptation of Wondery’s hit podcast Dr. Death<\/em>. The project, which will be a limited series and is currently being shopped by UCP, is based on the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch<\/strong>, who will be played by Dornan.<\/p>\n

The character is described as a young, charismatic and ostensibly brilliant, a man who was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed when patients were left dead. The series will explore the “twisted mind of a sociopath and the gross negligence of the system designed to protect the most defenseless among us,” according to the announcement, released on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The series is executive produced by Patrick Macmanus<\/strong>, Todd Black<\/strong>, Jason Blumenthal<\/strong> and Steve Tisch<\/strong>, as well as Hernan Lopez<\/strong> and Marshall Lewy<\/strong> of Wondery. The series is based on Wondery’s hit podcast Dr. Death<\/em>, which has been listened to by over 50 million people.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
