Production Type: Docuseries

Dr. Death: The Undoctored Story is a standalone Docuseries designed as a completed, finite historical narrative. The production was conceived as a non-fiction deep dive to provide the objective reality behind the dramatized events of the scripted anthology. By utilizing archival footage and first-hand accounts from the medical professionals who stopped Duntsch, the series offers a comprehensive look at the systemic failures of the healthcare industry.

Because the legal proceedings and criminal conviction of Christopher Duntsch have reached a final resolution, the narrative serves as a closed-ended historical record. The four episodes exhaustively cover the chronological timeline from the initial surgeries to the life imprisonment sentence, ensuring no further installments are required to complete the story. As a companion piece to a specific case, the project was intended from the start to be a limited documentary event.

Production Trivia: Produced by Peacock as a factual companion to the scripted Dr. Death series, this production features interviews with the real-life victims and whistleblowers involved in the Christopher Duntsch case.
