HBO has announced the upcoming limited series “My Dentist’s Murder Trial,” a ripped-from-the-headlines true crime series starring David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) and Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”). The series will be based on a 2017 New Yorker article titled “My Dentist’s Murder Trial: Adultery, false identities, and a lethal sedation,” written by James Lasdun.
Deadline reports that Steve Conrad (Patriot, Perpetual Grace, LTD) will be writing “My Dentist’s Murder Trial” for HBO, and Conrad is also on board to direct the pilot episode.
Deadline details…
“The true crime story chronicled in the article centers on Dr. Gilberto Nunez who in 2015 was indicted for killing his friend Thomas Kolman by getting him “to ingest a substance that caused his death.” There were also two forgery counts, including Nunez posing as a C.I.A. agent. Nunez, who had had an affair with Kolman’s wife Linda, stood trial in 2018 where he was found not guilty of murder but guilty on fraud charges, which led to a prison sentence.”
Dr. Gilberto Nunez will be played in the series by Pedro Pascal, the site notes.
Harbour and Pascal will also executive produce the limited series.
