First look at new Netflix medical drama set to rival Grey’s Anatomy
A NEW medical drama that’s been dubbed the new Grey’s Anatomy is set to land on Netflix in just a few weeks.
Highly anticipated Netflix original series Pulse is one of the latest dramas from the streaming platform, and already being tipped to be a big hit.
Pulse is set in Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, with the staff and patients grappling with their demanding jobs and complicated health issues as a hurricane dramatically barrels towards the hospital.
Actress Willa Fitzgerald takes on the lead role of Dr. Danny Simms, with viewers watching as she is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips, played by Colin Woodell, is suspended.
The 10-part series, which lands in April on Netflix, sees the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips forced to find a way to work together.
Yet adding a further complication into the mix, the details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out.
The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes.
The star cast includes Willia Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Chelsea Muirhead, Daniela Nieves and Jessy Yates.
Also starring are Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto.
