LENOX HILL: Netflix Adds COVID-Focused Follow-Up

Netflix has added a special episode to the just-released docuseries LENOX HILL.

Though the first season of LENOX HILL—which followed the real doctors of Lenox Hill—dropped on Wednesday, June 10, a special ninth installment will be released on Wednesday, June 24…focusing on the current COVID pandemic.

“We had the privilege of getting to know these doctors when filming this series and we felt a deep responsibility to continue to share their stories as they navigated this unprecedented and life-changing situation,” executive producers Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash said in a statement. “With this special episode, we wanted people to see the impact this pandemic had, and is still having, on our hospitals and healthcare workers through the eyes of people on the frontlines.”

According to Netflix, the special episode is “documenting the COVID-19 outbreak in New York City. The high-stakes, emotional ninth episode follows the doctors as they band together in the midst of the pandemic to treat critically ill patients while the city shuts down around them. ‘Pandemic’ highlights the daily sacrifices healthcare heroes have made to provide care on the frontlines of a continuing global crisis.”

In honor of the episode, Netflix made a donation to the Lenox Hill Staff Well-Being Fund.
