Season Two of Steven Soderbergh's turn-of-the-20th-century drama series The Knick to premiere in India

Season two features The Knickerbocker hospital facing an upheaval, as Dr. John Thackery’s absence (due to his hospitalization for cocaine addiction), a dearth of affluent patients, and financial missteps leads the board’s decision to shutter The Knickerbocker Hospital in favor of a new building uptown.

While on one hand everyone is searching for the new path that will help them survive, the gifted but under-appreciated Dr. Algernon Edwards jockeys to become Thackery’s successor as chief of surgery as fellow doctors, nurses, nuns and administrators grapple with challenges at work and in their private lives.

Rich in period detail, this season will capture the era’s unique zeitgeist, with huge strides in technology transformed medicine and treatments that were once thought impossible becoming a commonplace.
