Netflix has also shared the official synopsis for the series, detailing just what fans can expect.
“As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended. Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together — even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out,” reads the series’ official synopsis.
“The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Because for this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patients’ lives is often less complicated than living their own.”
Pulse is created and executive produced by Zoe Robyn, who’s also serving as the showrunner alongside Lost’s Carlton Cuse. Also attached as an executive producer are Cuse, Kate Dennis, Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, and Michael Klick, with Dennis directing the first two episodes.
