Netflix checks into the ER with first look at Pulse

As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended. Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together – even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out. The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Because for this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patients’ lives is often less complicated than living their own.

The series was created and executive produced by Hawaii Five-0 and The Equalizer writer Zoe Robyn. She’ll co-showrun with Lost‘s Carlton Cuse, who got his medical bona fides in 2022 with Hurricane Katrina-centered drama Five Days At Memorial. 

Netflix also released some first look images of Fitzgerald and Woodell’s characters, as well as supporting cast members Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, and Daniela Nieves. You can check those out, courtesy of Netflix, below. Pulse officially premieres April 3.
