NETFLIX ANNOUNCES NEW DRAMA SERIES "THE RETRIEVALS"

An Adaptation of the Acclaimed Podcast by Susan Burton from Serial Productions and The New York Times

From Molly Smith Metzler, Emmy-nominated Creator behind MAID and Sirens

· Today, Netflix announced The Retrievals, a drama series from Emmy-nominated showrunner, writer and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler. This project is produced by LuckyChap and Quiet Coyote.

· Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer: Molly Smith Metzler for Quiet Coyote (Maid, Sirens, Shameless)

· Executive Producers: LuckyChap; Colin McKenna (MAID, Sirens), Caitlin Roper for The New York Times, and the podcast writer Susan Burton

· Logline: Inspired by the Peabody Award-winning New York Times podcast, The Retrievals follows one woman's crusade against Yale Fertility Center after she (and almost 100 other women) were operated on without anesthesia - because a nurse stole their fentanyl. A powerful and surprisingly funny story about an unlikely community that dares to take on one of the largest institutions in the nation.

· The hit podcast series by Susan Burton, which reached number one on Apple Podcasts, was a sensitive investigation of medical harm and its emotional reverberations. The two seasons of the podcast have drawn national attention to the dismissal of women's pain.

· The Retrievals reunites Molly Smith Metzler and Colin McKenna with Netflix and LuckyChap following the success of the critically acclaimed series MAID, which won the 2022 WGA Award for Adapted Long Form and earned nominations from the Emmys, Golden Globes and SAG; and Sirens, which earned four Emmy nominations in 2025.
