Brilliant Minds: cast and everything we know about the Zachary Quinto medical drama

Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf in Brilliant Minds.

There are plenty of medical dramas in the fall 2024 television schedule, including Grey's Anatomy season 21 and Chicago Med season 10. Brilliant Minds is one of the newest medical dramas to hit the schedule and it puts a fresh spin on the traditional formula. 

Zachary Quinto plays Dr. Oliver Wolf, who was inspired by the brilliant and trailblazing neurologist Oliver Sacks. Sacks was known for his work to destigmatize mental illness and help people understand what life is like for those living with neurological conditions. 

This high-pressure workplace drama focuses on a team of doctors who are devoted to helping those in need, though their work ultimately takes a toll on their own mental health.
