Go behind the scenes with the cast of Brilliant Minds as they share what’s ahead in Season 2. Season 2 premieres September 22 on NBC and streams next day on Peacock.
00:00Well, I was probably the first person to sign on to the show.
00:02Everybody else came along because I'm here.
00:08And that's it.
00:14What are you supposed to be, the torture genius who cares too much about his patients?
00:17She got that right.
00:23Come here. Sit down.
00:25It's been great to have new energy on the show and new perspectives and new doctors.
00:32Wolf is the problem.
00:33I am feeling very ganged up on here.
00:35Suddenly we have a whole new wing of the hospital.
00:37We're in it right now, actually.
00:38And there's all these new hallways and labyrinthine nurses' stations and...
00:43Labyrinthine?
00:44Yeah.
00:44The hallways are labyrinthine.
00:45What do you want?
00:46He has no control over his own arm.
00:47The dude's got a mean left hook.
00:50Yeah, we've been acquainted.
00:51The medical mystery aspect of the show, the strange but true things that happen to human beings was really exciting too.
00:58Do you see something?
00:59The hidden cameras that are all over the place.
01:00I think our patient is experiencing Truman Show Syndrome.
01:04Every script is a juicy surprise.
01:06It is.
01:07I'm sure it is.
01:08We are so excited to have John and Ryan and Al.
01:12And just to be able to open up the world of the hospital.
01:15I didn't mean to interrupt a meeting of the Dr. Wolf fan club.
01:18Dr. Wolf might be face blind, but he sees right through you.
01:21The great thing about getting a season two is it attracts a really high caliber of guest star.
01:27It's like a feast.
01:28It's juicy, delicious, and it's a season of feast.
01:31Yeah, it must be lunchtime.
01:33I'm excited to explore what's going to happen between Wolf and Josh.
01:38Did you still have feelings for each other?
01:39You know Wolf.
01:40Whatever he's feeling, it's all going into his work.
01:43Which cast member would make the best real-life doctor?
01:45One, two, three.
01:46Erica would make the best doctor.
01:49Wow.
01:49Oh, wow.
01:50No, it's you, absolutely.
01:51I just wanted the compliments.
01:52I know you're not a real doctor.
01:56You're right.
01:57I just play one on TV.
01:59We don't necessarily fix people so much as we modify their approach to life and their perspectives.
02:07Adam's non-speaking.
02:09Communication is key.
02:10It's just a symptom of something bigger.
02:12Question is what?
02:12I really was drawn to the idea of a show that really cares about mental health.
02:18Telling these stories as truthfully as we can and always rooted in a reality and it's rooted in real cases.
02:23When people really care about the people whose stories we're telling, about the community that we're highlighting, that's something I'm grateful for.
02:30There's just like so many different kinds of people on our show.
02:32The characters, the people that we're bringing to life are not necessarily what you are used to seeing on TV.
02:38I do what I do, how I do it, because it's what I believe in.
02:41Because my patients deserve it and that will never change.
02:43The beautiful thing that I'm getting to do with you guys is I feel seen, I feel included.
02:48Vulnerability, I think, has with it some tenderness and some sensitivity.
02:52You create space for other people to come in and give a helping hand.
02:56And we do that for each other.
02:57People can be susceptible to certain vulnerabilities.
03:00It doesn't make you weak or flawed.
03:02It makes you human.
03:04You guys were extremely welcoming.
03:05I was diagnosed ADHD.
03:07To be on a show that is rooted in something so human, mental health stories,
03:10that's what makes me continue to show up even as I'm pretty fresh.
03:15Baby, come on, fresh?
03:17I really can't wait to see where all of it takes us this season.
03:19And no matter the case, I will never give up on my patients.
