NBC has released the official Brilliant Minds trailer for its newest medical drama, starring Emmy nominee Zachary Quinto as the eccentric Dr. Wolf.
“Inspired by Oliver Sacks’ extraordinary life and work, the series follows revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist Oliver Wolf (Quinto) and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health,” reads the logline.
