Sony channels its new but cancelled TV drama, The Mob Doctor, straight to Sony Entertainment Television from 25 February at 20:30.


You're reading it here first. 

I can break the news and exclusively reveal that The Mob Doctor, the new but cancelled America TV drama is coming to Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 127) where it's set to start on Monday 25 February at 20:30 (South African time).

The Mob Doctor revolves around doctor Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro) in Chicago who, reluctantly, agrees to become an after-hours doctor for the mafia besides her real daytime job, to work off her brother's debt.

Sony Pictures Television produced The Mob Doctor for the Fox TV network in America where it started in September but got cancelled last month. Sony Pictures Television International Networks decided to channel the 13 episode season of The Mob Doctor straight to Sony Entertainment Television.

Sony Entertainment Television's biggest exclusive TV content for tune-in to the channel remains The Amazing Race, and the channel has had some limited success for bringing South African viewers the shortlived and cancelled drama The Firm earlier this year.

Sony recently decided to yank The Late Show with David Letterman from Sony Entertainment Television which South African viewers can no longer see on the channel or elsewhere on South Africa.
