Hurricane Katrina Hospital Thriller Series FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL Trailer Starring Vera Farmiga

Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for a mini-series called Five Days at Memorial. This series is a hospital thriller that tells the chilling true story of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in a local hospital.

The series is based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sheri Fink, which “chronicles the impact of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath on a local hospital. When the floodwaters rose, the power failed and heat soared, exhausted caregivers at a New Orleans hospital were forced to make decisions that would follow them for years to come.”

This story is pretty crazy, as a doctor and two nurses were charged with intentionally killing patients with injections before the hospital was evacuated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The whole thing was certainly a traumatic experience.

Five Days at Memorial cast include Vera Farmiga, Cherry Jones, Robert Pine, Cornelius Smith Jr., Julie Ann Emery, and Adepero Oduye.

Five Days at Memorial was created by Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel, The Strain, The Colony, Locke & Key, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and John Ridley (Barbershop, American Crime, Guerilla). The mini-series will air on Apple TV+ starting August 12th, 2022.
