Seven picks up US drama Doc

Seven has picked up new US medical procedural Doc starring Molly Parker (Accused, Lost in Space, House of Cards) as a brilliant doctor who suffers a brain injury which erases the last eight years of her life.

The 10 part series, which is coproduced by Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, is based on the Italian medical drama Doc: Nelle tue man (with a male lead doctor). Showcased by Sony at the LA Screenings in May, it is set to premiere on FOX in the USA in January.

It has also sold to RTL in Germany, WOWOW in Japan, Global in English-speaking Canada, Movistar Plus+ in Spain, AXN in Portugal, Max and HBO Max linear in Central and Eastern Europe, beIN in the Middle East and North Africa, AXN in South-east Asia, TVNZ in New Zealand, Quebecor Content in French-speaking Canada and The Walt Disney Company in Latin America.

“Medical procedurals are intrinsically universal, character-driven stories with a built-in sense of urgency and emotionality,” said Mike Wald, Sony Pictures Television’s exec VP of international distribution and networks.

“When we unveiled Doc at the LA Screenings in May, we knew it was destined to repeat the same success throughout international territories that the original format achieved in Italy. Our mounting sales now confirm that and validate our strategy to invest in proven IP with broad and global appeal.”

Showrunner for the series is Barbie Kligman (Magnum P.I., Secrets & Lies) executive produces alongside Hank Steinberg, Erwin Stoff, Russell Fine, John Weber, Frank Siracusa and writer Judith McCreary (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan).

Seven unveils its 2025 Upfront slate next week.
