It helps that Kitsch also had a very personal connection to the show, as well. Uzo Aduba and Taylor Kitsch are both set to star, with the latter playing a car mechanic named Glen Kryger who becomes addicted to the drug after hurting his back on the job. "So much of this show is the conviction of a group of people," executive producer Eric Newman told Entertainment Weekly.
The story is based on a New Yorker article by Patrick Radden Keefe titled, "The Family That Build an Empire of Pain"-as well as the book, Barry Meier's Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America's Opioid Epidemic. He was the chairman and President of Purdue Pharma, the pharmaceutical company that created Ox圜ontin and helped push it onto the market. Directed by Friday Night Lights's Peter Berg, Painkiller will star Matthew Broderick as Richard Sackler. The Sackler family is set to take another hit when Netflix unveils Painkiller, an upcoming drama series that will focus on the effects of the opioid crisis in America.
