It’s been months since the spectacular first season of NBC’s medical drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, wrapped up — and now, there’s exciting news: the show has officially been renewed for Season 2!
Inspired by the remarkable life and work of renowned author and physician Oliver Sacks, the series centers on the brilliant and unconventional neurologist Dr. Oliver Wolf (played by Quinto) and his team of interns. Together, they delve into the mysteries of the human mind, while also navigating their own personal struggles and mental health challenges.
Alongside Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf, Brilliant Minds features a talented ensemble cast, including Tamberla Perry as Dr. Carol Pierce, Ashleigh LaThrop as Ericka Kinney, Alex MacNicoll as Dr. Van Markus, Aury Krebs as Dr. Dana Dang, Spence Moore II as Dr. Jacob Nash, Teddy Sears as Dr. Josh Nichols, and Donna Murphy as Dr. Muriel Landon.
The final two episodes of Season 1 surprised viewers with the appearance of Mandy Patinkin as Dr. Noah Wolf — Oliver’s presumed-dead father. Patinkin is set to return in Season 2, though it’s still unclear in what capacity his character will be involved.
