Dr. Wolf is coming to NBC. The peacock network has ordered a new series based on the life and work of British neurologist Oliver Sacks. The show is inspired by two of his many books, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars.

Zachary Quinto, Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alexander MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, and Teddy Sears star in the medical drama series.

NBC revealed the following about the plot of the upcoming series:

Inspired by Oliver Sacks’ extraordinary life and work, “Dr. Wolf” follows revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier — the human mind — while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

Dr. Wolf was the last of NBC’s 2023 pilots whose fate was still up in the air. The pilot was written by Micahel Grassi and directed by Lee Toland Krieger. They executive produce the series along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Henrik Bastin, Melissa Aouate, Andy Serkis, Jonathan Cavendish, Will Tennant, and DeMane Davis. It will be produced by Berlanti Productions, Fabel Entertainment, and The Imaginarium in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.

The premiere date for Dr. Wolf will be announced later. It’s unclear if, due to the current SAG-AFTRA strike, it will air during the current 2023-24 season or, if it will launch in the 2024-25 season.
