Outbreak is described as a medical thriller that follows an ensemble of characters as they race to contain a lethal virus before it becomes a global pandemic. The show is a hour-long series based on the hit 1995 Warner Bros feature directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo.
Co-written by former ER executive producers John Wells and Jack Orman, NBC has given the project a pilot production commitment. Warner Bros TV and studio-based John Wells Prods are producing, with Wells, Orman and JWP's Andrew Stearn executive producing. Gail Katz, who was a producer on the movie, also is expected to be involved in some producing capacity.
There is no Next Episode of Outbreak planned.
