Despite the name, Dr. Death won’t die, returning for a second season
The doctor is in. Peacock's Dr. Death will return for another season of medical true crime horrors. But will it be covered by insurance?!?

The great thing about true crime is we’ll never run out of inspiration. There are more than enough factually-based horrors for viewers to obsess over, whether it be yet another Peterson with a penchant for wife killing or a neurosurgeon that killed and maimed dozens of patients. The things that don’t qualify as HPPA violations would shock people.
Peacock knows this, so they went ahead and greenlit another season of the anthology series Dr. Death. Based on the podcast of the same name (the podcast-to-streaming-series pipeline is as strong as ever), Doctor Death follows a different medical crime each season. And yet, we’ve heard nothing about a Diagnosis Murder X Doctor Death collaboration.
