David Harbour and Pedro Pascal to star in and executive produce HBO’s true crime series My Dentist’s Murder Trial. The series will be based on a true story.
According to Deadline, the true crime story chronicled in the article centers on Dr. Gilberto Nunez who in 2015 was indicted for killing his friend Thomas Kolman by getting him “to ingest a substance that caused his death.”
There were also two forgery counts, including Nunez posing as a C.I.A. agent. Nunez, who had had an affair with Kolman’s wife Linda, stood trial in 2018 where he was found not guilty of murder but guilty on fraud charges, which led to a prison sentence. Per the report, Pascal will play Dr. Nunez. No words on whether Harbour will play the victim, Thomas Kolman, or the article’s author, Lasdun, whose long-time family dentist Nunez was.
Both Pedcro Pascal and David Harbour will executive produce in addition to starring. Steve Conrad will write and executive produce in addition to directing the pilot. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists will also executive produce along with Bruce Terris, Molly Allen, James Lasdun, and MGM Television. Taylor Latham of Escape Artists will co-executive produce.
On the work front, Pedro Pascal and Conrad both are currently in business with HBO. Pascal headlines the network’s upcoming series The Last Of Us. Conrad serves as writer and executive producer on Game Of Thrones’ Dunk & Egg prequel series in the works. Harbour is freshly coming off the fourth season of Netflix smash hit Stranger Things.
My Dentist’s Murder Trial is currently in early development. No release date has been set yet.
