Watch: a preview trailer of ABC's new medical drama series 'Black Box' starring Kelly Reilly premiering April 24th!
Kelly Reilly's upcoming new limited (13 episodes) TV series, Black Box will premiere on ABC on April 24th, which is about a little over 2 months from now. The official website for the series is now up and has been added on ABC's site (under shows section). Looks like Kelly's character's first name Elizabeth (as first mentioned when the new series was announced last year), is no longer that name as it's been changed to Catherine (as now listed on the series' website). So, her character's name is now Dr. Catherine Black and not Dr. Elizabeth Black (as it was previously referred to). The "The" on the title has been dropped as well and is now just called Black Box.

About Black Box
The twenty-first century is the era of the brain, and this show will be riding that wave on the cutting edge of medicine. The brain is the source of everything -- from whom we love to how we act and feel. It is the ultimate mystery, which is why doctors call it, the "black box." Catherine and the staff of "The Cube" will constantly be challenged by cases never seen before on television. The patients have rare, highly visual, often hallucinogenic and startling conditions, which we will see through their eyes as Catherine diagnoses and treats them.
Dr. Black's home base is in New York City where she works in a state-of-the-art neurological center known as "The Cube." Inside its modern walls, this complex woman draws patients from all over the world. Outside, she keeps multiple secrets from her family and loved ones. There's only one person who knows everything -- her psychiatrist, Dr. Helen Hartramph (Vanessa Redgrave). Hartramph is intuitive, deeply insightful, and strong, an imposing mentor and mother figure. She's a touchstone that Catherine returns to weekly for advice, medication and comfort. Meanwhile, Catherine keeps the men in her life on their toes as she is torn between Will (David Ajala), a sexy, handsome new chef with his own restaurant in Brooklyn, and her co-worker, the charismatic, womanizing neurosurgeon, Dr. Ian Bickman (Ditch Davey). Will wants love and commitment, but can a free spirit like Catherine ever commit? Bickman's work comes first and he would never contemplate settling down, at least until he meets Dr. Catherine Black. But what does Bickman really know about Catherine? Less than he imagines.
Dr. Owen Morely (Terry Kinney), the medical director of The Cube, is Catherine's former teacher, current mentor and fellow neurologist – a gentleman to his core. They share cases and mutual admiration. But her closest confidant is within her family circle - her older brother, Joshua Black (David Chisum). Joshua and Catherine are forever bonded by the struggle they shared to overcome a difficult childhood.

ReplyDeleteNo unfortunately that is not it. Still searching.
ReplyDeleteYa it's good song but it's not that. It sounds like a group I know of called Festival. They had one album called 'Come, Arrow, Come' it might be on that.
ReplyDeleteShooting star-stardust?
ReplyDeleteThe song is "scary fragile" by butterfly boucher
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know the song that plays in the promo trailer of this. I've tried a whole bunch of websites. The lyrics are "when your thoughts ______ to ______ a sleepless night a separation this is killing me". I couldn't make out a few words. Please help me.
ReplyDeleteYes it's Cary fragile by butterfly boucher
ReplyDelete*scary fragile
ReplyDeleteNo. It's fefe Dobson Firebird.
ReplyDeleteOne of the songs is Scary Fragile by Butterfly Boucher. There are several songs playing in the trailer.
ReplyDeleteThe one where she sings 'fire fire fire'- that is fefe Dobson. iTunes US hasn't released her new stuff yet but you can find it on you tube. I haven't heard the other one.
ReplyDeleteIndividuals w/bipolar disorder work hard to educate the public. Famous actors like Patty Duke when finally diagnosed with manic-depressive disorder & received the help needed stated in an interview "never ever even remotely thought of not taking the medication,” because when her disorder was out-of-control it hurt her children & herself. I have worked as an MSW. People suffering from mental health disorders have enough difficulties finding the correct meds. Show does a disservice to the public to suggest not taking medication and glamorizing the results.
ReplyDeleteBlanks to lyric is " not to strange"
