NBC’s Brilliant Minds | Ashleigh LeThrop and Aury Krebs on Portrayal of Mental Health and Disease on Screen

Ashleigh LaThrop and Aury Krebs in Brilliant Minds

Mental health and disease are brought into a different light in the NBC series Brilliant Minds.

Unlike other medical shows on television, this series revolves around a team of neurologists tackling issues of the mind.

The cast includes Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, Margin Call), Tamberla Perry (They Cloned Tryone, APB), Ashleigh LaThrop (The Handmaid’s Tale, The Kominsky Method), Alex MacNicoll (The Society, Transparent), Aury Krebs (Triple Threat, Leverage: Redemption), Spence Moore II (Creed III, Back to the Strip), Teddy Sears (The Flash, Chicago Fire), and Donna Murphy (The Gilded Age, Center Stage).

Here is the official description of the series:

Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, Brilliant Minds follows a revolutionary, larger-then-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier—the human mind—while grappling with their own relationship and mental health.
