Doc has found its star. Molly Parker (House of Cards) is set to star in the FOX series, which will arrive in Fall 2024. It was ordered to series in April 2023.
Parker will play Amy Elias, the chief of internal and family medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis, who must rebuild her personal and professional life after losing her memory of the last eight years. Inspired by an Italian drama, the series is executive produced by Barbie Kligman, Hank Steinberg, and Erwin Stoff.
Variety revealed the following about the plot of the FOX series:
After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she’s treated, colleagues she’s crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. She can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.
Additional casting and the premiere date for Doc will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you planning to check out the Doc TV series on FOX in the fall?
Eight years out of the game seems like a bit excessive. Who would want to go to a Dr. with that past history? Especially with all the other drama hinted at in this descriptor? Sounds like a mountain of issues to climb. I love Molly Parker but not sure this is a journey I will join,
