Painkiller will focus on the opioid crisis that has gripped America since the 1990s.
Speaking about how the series will explore the crisis, show creator Newman said:
"A tragedy decades in the making, the opioid crisis has become one of the most devastating public health crises of our time. Unlike other drug epidemics, born from underground manufacturing and covert smuggling, this epidemic began by prescription–dispensed by doctors, approved by government regulators and promoted by a family-owned pharmaceutical giant that made billions while betraying the trust of patients and the public."
The series has already racked up an all-star cast, including Orange is the New Black actress Uzo Aduba and Ferris Bueller's Day Off lead Matthew Broderick. Broderick will play Richard Sackler, a member of the billionaire Sackler family and senior executive at Purdue Pharma, while Aduba is to star as Edie, an investigator leading the case against Purdue.
Painkiller (en español: Medicina Letal) es una próxima serie limitada de drama estadounidense de 2022 realizada para Netflix y creada por Micah Fitzerman-Blue y Noah Harpster.
La serie de seis episodios, que se basa en el artículo del The New Yorker de Patrick Radden Keefe "La familia que construyó un imperio del dolor" y Pain Killer: un imperio del engaño y el origen de la epidemia de opioides de Estados Unidos de Barry Meier, se centrará sobre el nacimiento de la crisis de opioides en los Estados Unidos con énfasis en Purdue Pharma, el fabricante de OxyContin.
