New trailer for psychological thriller The Patient starring Steve Carell and Domhnall Gleeson

July 16, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

FX has released a new trailer for the psychological thriller series The Patient which stars Steve Carell as therapist Alan Strauss, who finds himself in a terrifying situation when he is held prisoner by serial killer, Sam (Domhnall Gleeson), seeking his help. With time running out, Alan fights to stop Sam before he becomes complicate in his crimes or another one of his victims; check it out below along with the series’ official key art…

The Patient is a psychological thriller from the minds of Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg (The Americans) about a therapist, “Alan Strauss” (Steve Carell), who’s held prisoner by a patient, “Sam Fortner” (Domhnall Gleeson), who reveals himself to be a serial killer. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his homicidal urges.

In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam’s disturbed mind and stop him from killing again… but Sam refuses to address critical topics, like his mother “Candace” (Linda Emond). Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist, “Charlie” (David Alan Grier), and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles – the recent death of his wife, “Beth” (Laura Niemi), and the painful estrangement from his religious son, “Ezra” (Andrew Leeds).

Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam’s compulsion runs, but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before Alan becomes complicit in Sam’s murders or worse – becomes a target himself.

The Patient premieres on Hulu on August 30th.
