Wondery’s Dr. Death is one of the many podcasts that helped establish the form as a go-to for crack investigative reporting. Reporter Laura Beil’s multi-episode dig into the fatal malpractice of Dr. Christopher Duntsch served to shine a light on a “spineless” medical system that failed patients and allowed Duntsch to operate for far too long. Just as they did with last year’s Dirty John—another podcast adaptation—the twisted minds at Universal Content Productions are developing an adaptation of the series. Today, they announced the three big names that will surgically dissect the doctor’s nefarious plan and the efforts that eventually landed him in prison.
