The second season of “Dr. Death” is set to premiere on Lionsgate Play on July 12. This season shifts its focus to the chilling true story of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, portrayed by Edgar Ramirez.
Known as the “Miracle Man” for his groundbreaking work with artificial organs, Macchiarini’s career takes a dark turn when investigative journalist Benita Alexander, played by Mandy Moore, begins to uncover the sinister truth behind his medical practices.
As Benita delves deeper into her investigation, she reveals the extent of Macchiarini’s deceptions, leading to a global unraveling of his unethical practices. The eight-part series, based on the true-crime podcast, highlights Macchiarini’s use of terminally ill patients for experimental trials under the guise of cutting-edge medical treatment. The show also explores the impact on his patients and the brave whistleblowers who exposed his malpractice.
Created by Ashley Michel Hoban, “Dr. Death” Season 2 promises to be a compelling watch, blending elements of true crime and medical drama.
