“Pulse” was originally ordered to series in February 2024. The series stars Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, and Daniela Nieves along with Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos, and Arturo Del Puerto.
The official description for the series states:
“As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (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. 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.”
Zoe Robyn is the creator of the series and serves as co-showrunner and executive producer. Carlton Cuse is also the co-showrunner and executive producer. Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, Michael Klick, and Kate Dennis executive produce.
The launch of “Pulse” comes after Max found success with its own medical procedural — “The Pitt” starring Noah Wyle. That show was recently renewed for a second season. It also comes as streamers look to save money on series budgets, with procedurals being typically cheaper to produce than more prestige dramas that have dominated the landscape for the past several years.
