Mercy Street, the first American drama to air on PBS in more than a decade, starts airing Sunday night at 10 ET.
The six-part series follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the Civil War — New England abolitionist Mary Phinney and Confederate supporter Emma Green.
The Green family’s luxury hotel in Alexandria, Va., just outside Washington, has been transformed into Mansion House, a Union Army hospital tending to the war’s wounded.
Inspired by memoirs and letters from real doctors and nurse volunteers at Mansion House Hospital, this new drama reveals the stories of those struggling to save lives while managing their own hardships.
Ridley Scott, whose film he directed, The Martian, just won a Golden Globe award, is one of the executive producers.
