Netflix has set an April 3, 2025 premiere date for Pulse, the streamer’s first English language medical procedural. The medical drama’s set in Miami and stars Willa Fitzgerald (The Fall of the House of Usher) and Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant).
Pulse also stars Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, and Daniela Nieves. Additionally, Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos, and Arturo Del Puerto star in the 10-episode season.
The premiere date announcement was accompanied by the first photos from the upcoming series.
“As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Woodell) is suspended,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”
Zoe Robyn created the series and is co-showrunner with Emmy winner Carlton Cuse (Lost). Robyn and Cuse executive produce along with Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, Michael Klick, and Kate Dennis.
“We wanted these characters to be real people who have to go through the relatable issues of working together in a pressure cooker,” explained Zoe Robyn in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “Relationships are forming and breaking apart on Pulse.”
Carlton Cuse added: “Nowadays, your work family can really be, apart from your literal family, the most important community you have. The complications that arise — between what’s going on off the clock and on the clock — can get messy. It can get confusing. That’s what we wanted to explore with Pulse.”
