Oracle Status: Hiatus/Status Unknown
The scalpel has been put down for now, as Peacock’s chilling anthology series remains in a holding pattern. Following the December 2023 release of the second season focusing on Paolo Macchiarini, the network has maintained absolute radio silence regarding a potential third installment. Unlike traditional serialized dramas, this true crime property benefits from a standalone structure, meaning executives are under no immediate pressure to rush a green light. The Wondery podcast source material still boasts untapped cases, specifically the harrowing story of Farid Fata, which provides a ready made blueprint for future episodes.
Until Peacock finalizes its streaming strategy and evaluates the long tail viewership metrics, the production status is officially classified as a hiatus. The studio is biding its time, but the doctor could easily return to our screens for another terrifying appointment.
Oracle Prediction: Peacock is weighing the metrics, but the Wondery well is deep enough for a third surgical strike.
You will love this chilling, true-crime drama about another charismatic figure driven by deadly deception.
Like *Dr. Death*, this gripping thriller masterfully explores the dark, obsessive consequences of betrayal.

Both shows masterfully explore the dark obsession and moral decay lurking behind professional facades.
You will love the clinical, psychological suspense and the chilling exploration of institutional gaslighting.
