The Patient is a psychological thriller starring the infamous and hilarious Steve Carell, but well, not so much in his usual funny role. The show shapes Carell’s character against a dark and serious plot. The limited series is a creation of Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, the duo behind the hugely successful Under the Banner of Heaven. Carell, apart from being the protagonist, is also the executive producer of the series, along with Domhnall Gleeson, David Alan Grier, Linda Emond, Laura Niemi, and Andrew Leeds. The Patient, as backed by critics, is anticipated to be the best release of the month. Keep reading to know more about the upcoming dark series The Patient.
The Patient: Plot and Cast
The plot of The Patient focuses on a psychotherapist who, while treating a serial killer, finds himself trapped in the latter’s hands and words. The psychotherapist is confronted by an unusual request from his patient, the request being to control, or rather put an end to the patient’s homicidal urges. The journey of re-wiring the man’s mind while confronting his own array of repressed issues weaves a story that is as precarious as the psychotherapist’s captive situation and is definitely a must-watch.
The cast of The Patient includes Steve Carell as Alexander Strauss, Domhnall Gleeson as Sam Fortner, Linda Emond as Candace, and Andrew Leeds as Ezra. The cast also comprises Laura Niemi, Alex Rich, and David Alan Grier.
The Patient: Release Date
The Patient releases on August 30, 2022, on Hulu. The limited series comprises ten episodes, each of a half-hour duration.
