HEARTBREAKER on NBC – First Look

NBC is going medical show-heavy with newly-picked up CHICAGO MED, the renewal of THE NIGHT SHIFT, and the order of HEARTBREAKER.

Unlike the other two medical dramas, HEARTBREAKER — starring Melissa George and Dave Annable — is based on a real-life heart-transplant surgeon.

Check out some photos from pilot, the official description, and a trailer…

NBC’s take: “Based on the real life and achievements of Dr. Kathy Magliato, this unique character-driven medical drama follows Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George, “The Slap”), an outspoken world-renowned heart-transplant surgeon and one of the few women in her field. Stubborn and fearless, Alex always operates on her own terms. She revels in a racy personal life that’s a full-time job in itself, manages the daily demands of skeptical faculty and dutiful interns, and pushes the boundaries of medical science to impressive new heights.

The cast includes Melissa George, Dave Annable, Don Hany, Shelley Conn, D.L. Hughley, Jamie Kennedy, Maya Erskine, J. Louis Mills and Joshua Leonard.

Jill Gordon serves as writer and executive producer. Amy Brenneman, Brad Silberling and director Robbie Duncan McNeill also executive produce. “Heartbreaker” is produced by Universal Television.”
