The news comes shortly after Fox ordered the medical drama “Doc” earlier this week. Based on the globally acclaimed Italian series, “Nelle tue mani,” the series will focus on Dr. Amy Elias, Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she’s treated, colleagues she’s crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. She now has to rely on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.
Co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, “Doc” will be executive produced by Barbie Kligman, Hank Steinberg, and Erwin Stoff.
