The chilling true-crime saga of Dr. Death is poised to return for a potential third season, leaving viewers eager to delve into the next medical mystery.
While an official confirmation from Peacock is yet to arrive, the success of the first two seasons based on the “Wondery” podcast and the availability of source material suggests a strong possibility for its continuation.
To give you the entire insider details, we will take a closer look at Dr. Death Season 3 and what the show has in store for the fans.

When is Dr. Death Season 3 Releasing?
The wait for a concrete release date for Dr. Death Season 3 remains a mystery. Season 2 premiered in December 2021, following a similar timeline to Season 1’s release in September 2021. However, show producer Ashley Michel Hoban’s recent comments suggest a focus on promoting Season 2 before delving into details about Season 3.
This might indicate a potential delay, though the positive critical reception for both seasons (averaging over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes) keeps hope alive for a future installment. Considering the production cycle and potential greenlight from Peacock, a late 2024 or early 2025 release window seems most likely.
Until then, what we can likely do is waiting for things to settle and rewatch the first two seasons in the meantime until more details about the third season surface.
What can we expect from Dr. Death Season 3?
Given the lack of official confirmation, the specifics of season 3 remain shrouded in mystery. There are a lot of theories and speculations floating around on the internet though, which is worth taking a closer look into.
Each season of “Dr. Death” has focused on a different doctor whose actions endangered lives. Season 3 could delve into the story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon whose reckless practices left numerous patients paralyzed or even dead. Alternatively, the show could explore the case of Dr. Farid Fata, a hematologist/oncologist who prescribed unnecessary chemotherapy to unsuspecting patients. Both stories were covered in the “Dr. Death” podcast and hold the potential for a gripping television adaptation.
The first two seasons primarily followed the investigations of journalists and medical professionals trying to expose the truth about the featured doctors. Season 3 could introduce a new perspective, perhaps focusing on a patient initially charmed by the doctor or a whistle-blower from within the medical system. This shift could offer a fresh take on the familiar themes of deception and the fight for justice.
“Dr. Death” has primarily focused on the uncovering of medical malpractice. Season 3 could explore the aftermath, showcasing the legal battles, the impact on victims and their families, and the potential reforms within the medical system to prevent similar tragedies.
Who is returning to Dr. Death Season 3?
Dr. Death is an anthology series, which explains why it is impossible to guess who would return to the show as the main cast. However, we expect the producers including Patrick Macmanus, Todd Black, and Ashley Michel Hoban alongside the narrator, Laura Beil to return.
