NBC's Brilliant Minds Season 2 is expanding on Dr. Oliver Wolf's mysterious presence at Hudson Oaks with a new case in every episode. From Alien Hand Syndrome to The Truman Show Syndrome, the sophomore season has featured unique medical complications in each episode, based on the research and books written by real-life neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks.
Brilliant Minds is shaping up to be unlike any other medical series on air, thanks to its impressive ensemble cast led by Zachary Quinto and a unique premise. Episode 3 will air on NBC on October 13.
In addition to Quinto, Brilliant Minds Season 2 also features the returning cast of Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Spence Moore II, and Teddy Sears.
