At the Corriere della Sera, the actor tells about himself: “It was right to remember all the health workers that there are no more in this country.

Doc’s second season – In your hands

The second season of Doc – In your hands swerve on current events and openly talk about the pandemic and Covid. The first episode, in fact, shows Dr. Andrea Fanti and his department finding themselves busy with the sudden outbreak of the epidemic. The second episode, on the other hand, will show the aftermath, how life has changed two years later. Among these changes, among these unexpected upheavals, unfortunately, there is also the departure of the beloved character played by Gianmarco Saurino.

The words of Gianmarco Saurino

Gianmarco Saurino explained that the attempt to show what has happened to so many doctors and health personnel, in such recent times, was “a great responsibility that I feel deeply”.


The true story of Doc, Dr. Pierdante Piccioni inspired the Rai fiction


What I think is that our series, more than anything else, will show a lot of people what happened inside the hospitals, because we tried to show it as faithfully as possible. Those images gave me goosebumps. If in the first season we tried to make doctors understand what they experience, beyond appearances, in this season the attempt was to show how they move in such a dramatic historical period.

Meanwhile, the grip of Covid does not stop. Yesterday, in Italy, still 184 thousand cases and 316 victims.
