Cinemax has teased us with several brief looks at Steven Soderbergh‘s upcoming television series “The Knick“, but today they have delivered the first full trailer for the upcoming 1900-set medical drama.
Starring Clive Owen in the lead role, the ten-episode first season centers on Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff, who push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics. Soderbergh directed all ten episodes and the ensemble cast includes André Holland, Eve Hewson, Juliet Rylance, Jeremy Bobb, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, Cara Seymour, Eric Johnson, David Fierro, Maya Kazan, Leon Addison Brown and Matt Frewer.
The first episode arrives on August 8, check out the trailer below. Don’t be surprised, but this one looks rather dark and disturbing.
