Ryan Eggold joins the NBC pilot as a newcomer in a cast that is already composed of Janet Montgomery, Freema Agyeman, and Anupam Kher.
The pilot hails from David Schulner who has worked on a fair amount of projects for NBC, including the short-lived 2013 medical drama Do No Harm.
This new untitled project, which had to change its former name of Bellevue likely due to the WGN America thriller of the same name, will be produced by Dr. Eric Manheimer, who was the medical director of New York City’s Bellevue Hospital.
He’s also the scribe of the memoir upon which this new project is based, and while Eggold’s character doesn’t share the same name the doctor, it sounds as though his performance and storylines will be based in part on Manheimer’s experiences.
