T8 WHATS UP! August 28 - September 3, 2022 BY RAYE SMITH TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "The Patient" Prepare yourself to deal with the past when the new FX thriller "The Patient" pre- mieres Tuesday, Aug. 30, on Hulu. Starring Steve Carell ("The Office") as therapist Alan Strauss, this 10-episode miniseries follows the wid- owed doctor as he is held cap- tive by his patient, Sam Fortner (played by Domhnall Gleeson, "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," 2015). Sam, who reveals himself to be a se- rial killer, comes to Alan with the most unusual demand of his career: help him curb his homicidal urges. As Alan at- tempts to unwind Sam's dis- turbed mind and stop him from killing again, he grapples with Sam's refusal to address some critical topics while dealing with his own repressed trou- bles. Throughout the course of the series, Alan learns not only how deeply disturbed his pa- tient is, but how much work he needs to do in his own life. From FX Productions, the se- ries is executive produced by Carell, Caroline Moore ("Cedar Cove"), Victor Hsu ("Transpar- ent") and Joseph Weisberg, Chris Long and Joel Fields of "The Americans." Written by Fields and Weisberg, "The Pa- tient" also stars David Alan Grier ("Joe Pickett"), Linda Emond ("Lodge 49"), Laura Ni- emi ("This Is Us"), Alex Rich ("Genius"), Amy Handelman ("Friend Zone: The Series") and Andrew Leeds ("Zoey's Ex- traordinary Playlist").

But, one fateful night, Toby gets in over his head when he breaks into the home of former High Court Judge Sir Hector Blake (Hugh Bonneville, "Downton Abbey") and accidentally uncovers a dark secret. With Blake willing to do whatever it takes to keep is secret under wraps, Toby is led on a terrifying game of cat and mouse across London, on a journey that endangers both himself and those closest to him.
