Netflix adds the new suspenseful drama series,
Ratched, developed by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan.
Ratched has all of the dark twists and turns that you can expect from a Ryan Murphy project.
Ratched sounds familiar, right? You are correct.
Ratched is based on the character in
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The Netflix series is Mildred Ratched’s origin story, a deep dive into Nurse Ratched’s character before she becomes the Nurse Ratched of Oregon State Hospital that many of us are familiar with from Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel and the Academy Award winning movie. Fun fact: The character of Nurse Ratched was based on a real-life person that novelist, Kesey, worked with at a psychiatric hospital.
SciFi Vision, in conjunction with Red Glean Media’s Christiane Elin, were invited to join in on a virtual press conference with a few of the leads for the star-filled series. Sarah Paulson, Cynthia Nixon, Sharon Stone, Sophie Okonedo, Jon Jon Briones, and Finn Wittrock chatted about
Ratched and working on a series set in the mid to late 40’s to early 50’s at a psychiatric hospital.
