First look at Mandy Moore and Edgar Ramirez in season two of Stan’s gripping true crime series Dr. Death

Streaming giant Stan has released some exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the upcoming season two of Dr. Death, starring Mandy Moore and Edgar Ramirez.

The exciting series dramatizes the true life story of the infamous Italian surgeon Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, who was sent to prison for medical misconduct and fraud.

Mandy Moore, 39, plays investigative journalist Benita Alexander, who becomes close with Paolo, played by Ramirez, as she investigates him, and discovers he is hiding many secrets.

The series will deliver an exciting mix of manipulation, betrayal and heartbreak, as viewers gradually discover that Paolo, far from the ‘Miracle Man’ he claims to be, is in fact a ‘Dr. Dead’.

One photo on set shows Mandy’s character hard at work on her computer and another shows Edgar’s character with a creepy grin while in the operating room.

Just like the first season, the second season will be based on the popular Wondery podcast.

The second season of Dr. Death comes from showrunner, writer and executive producer Ashley Michel Hoban, who was behind season one and the true crime hit The Girl from Plainville.

When investigative journalist Benita Alexander approaches Paolo for a story, the lines between personal and professional begin to blur, changing her life forever.

While Benita discovers how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets, a group of doctors on the other side of the world make shocking discoveries of their own.

Those discoveries put everything about the ‘Miracle Man’ into question.

“I am so honored to have the opportunity to teach Dr. Death universe with this fascinating story,” showrunner Ashley Hoban said in a statement.
