Dr. Death Coming to StarzPlay

StarzPlay has inked a deal with NBCUniversal Global Distribution for the limited series Dr. Death in select European and Latin American territories.

Based on the hit U.S. podcast from Wondery, Dr. Death is inspired by the true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), a rising star in the Dallas medical community who earned the nickname for his maiming of more than 30 patients between 2012 and 2013. Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater co-star.

The platform will stream the series exclusively in Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the U.K., and throughout Latin America, including Brazil and Mexico.

Superna Kalle, StarzPlay’s executive VP of international digital networks, said, “StarzPlay is synonymous with gripping, dramatic, exciting stories that are told in bold style. The Wondery podcast on which Dr. Death is based told a harrowing tale that captured record-setting attention when it was released in 2018. I have no doubt this will be equally captivating for our wider international audiences.”
