See Mandy Moore and Edgar Ramirez

The season two of Dr. Death looks into a man who can (allegedly) make miracles. Peacock released a trailer for the second season, out Dec. 21, of the podcast-based show on Tuesday. The new storyline follows investigative journalist Benita Alexander (Mandy Moore) as she looks into Dr. Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramirez), a surgeon allegedly making artificial organs to supposedly save patient lives.

The trailer opens with a family telling Macchiarini that they’ve “tried everything” to help their sick daughter — and they’re willing to do anything to save her. “The work I do could change the world,” he says, before explaining how he can make 3D-printed organs to help save patient lives.

“My team and I have to deal with very extreme cases,” Macchiarini says in one part of the video.
“Just the ones extreme enough that nobody will notice when you kill them!” Luke Kirby’s character Dr. Nathan Gamelli responds in anger.

The trailer continues by showing doctors and workers at the hospital arguing about some of the issues that arise with the new treatments, as people begin to lose trust in the doctor and Moore’s character becomes more concerned.

“He’s experimenting on people,” says a character as a list of human names with the word “deceased” by them flash onscreen.

The eight-episode season comes two years after Peacock premiered its Joshua Jackson-starring first season back in 2021. (Season Two’s first trailer dropped in late October.)

“The joy of an Anthology series is the freedom to explore variations on a theme. Dr. Death is a show about systemic failures, and this season, these issues reach a global scale,” said showrunner and executive producer Ashley Michel Hoban. “Amid complex narratives, we’ve been fortunate to delve deeply into a story that, while entirely unique, remains surprisingly familiar, as it taps into a truly universal part of the human condition: illness.”

“Even putting aside any recent global pandemics, we all know what it’s like to feel sick,” Hoban added. “It renders us vulnerable, small, in desperate need of help. A doctor we can trust.”

Peacock will also release a documentary, Dr. Death: Cutthroat Conman, on the same day as the series. It, too, tells the story of Macchiarini’s rise and fall.
