Joshua Jackson stars in Doctor Odyssey, ABC’s new one-hour medical drama set on board a cruise ship. The latest creation of prolific producer Ryan Murphy joins the network’s primetime lineup on September 26, 2024. Season one episodes will air on Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT, after 9-1-1 and before Grey’s Anatomy.
Joshua Jackson (Fatal Attraction) plays Dr. Max Bankman, Phillipa Soo (Shining Girls) is Nurse Avery Morgan, Sean Teale (Little Voice) is Nurse Tristan Silva, and Don Johnson (Rebel Ridge) stars as Captain Robert Massey. Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken write and executive produce the first season. Additional executive producers include Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, Eric Paquette, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, and Nissa Diederich. Paris Barclay directs and executive produces.
ABC released this synopsis of the new series:
“From the brilliant mind of Ryan Murphy comes high-octane procedural Doctor Odyssey. Max (Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”
Writer/executive producer Jon Robin Baitz spoke with EW about what’s in store when viewers tune in. “People spend quite a bit of hard-earned money to go on these cruises, and there’s an element of fantasy fulfillment, but with fantasy fulfillment comes risk and danger,” said Baitz. “On a boat, anything could happen, no matter how safety conscious you are. There’s any number of opportunities for mishaps, and with that comes this wonderful parade of guest stars every episode, like lambs to the slaughter, meekly, joyously walking up the gangplank, not remotely aware of what will befall them.”
