Zachary Quinto Leads New Medical Drama in Brilliant Minds Trailer
The Doctor is in! Zachary Quinto plays a compassionate and gifted neuroscientist in NBC’s Brilliant Minds. This intriguing medical drama follows Quinto as Dr. Wolf, an eccentric doctor who embraces unorthodox techniques to treat his suffering patients.
The trailer documents Dr. Wolf’s innate desire to treat his patients suffering from psychological cases with not only his mind, but his heart. Despite pushback from disapproving colleagues, Quinto’s character is relentless in his attempts to help his patients heal. We see a beautiful moment where Dr. Wolf helps an elderly man remember his granddaughter. Instead of sticking to standard medical tests and secluding his patient to a hospital room, He encourages the elderly man to play the piano for his granddaughter, a hobby he once loved to do. Dr. Wolf’s unusual techniques and empathy might be the cure his patients need.
The series is inspired by Oliver Sacks, a British neurologist who dedicated his life to neurology, naturalism, science, and writing. While the show will dive in to the psychological disabilities of Dr. Wolf’s patients, the trailer suggests that audiences will also see our main characters tackle their personal mental health obstacles.
Brilliant Minds is made up of a fantastic cast featuring Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spencer Moore II, Teddy Sears, and Donna Murphy.
Be sure to catch the premiere of Brilliant Minds on NBC on September 23 and stream each episode the following day on Peacock.
