The brand new medical drama series Brilliant Minds premieres September 23 on NBC. The series is inspired by “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” and “An Anthropologist on Mars,” books written by neurologist Oliver Sacks. Brilliant Minds stars Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto), a larger-than-life character patterned after the real life Oliver Sacks, as he and his team of interns treat and study the minds of neurology patients, all while navigating their own mental health.
Where to Watch Brilliant Minds without Cable
Brilliant Minds premiers on NBC on Monday, September 23 at 10PM ET, immediately following The Voice.
Brilliant Minds on NBC
You can watch Brilliant Minds on NBC without cable on any of these cord-cutting services:
Fubo
Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.
Hulu with Live TV
Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
YouTube TV
Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.
Sling TV
Slings TV is a relatively affordable and wide-ranging live TV streaming service that has three main plans: the family-friendly Sling Orange, the sports-and-news-focused Sling Blue, and the comprehensive Sling Orange + Blue. The latter has a total of 46 channels, including IFC, TNT, and MGM, plus cloud DVR and simultaneous streams. You can also add multiple add-ons, like the Sports Extra, the News Extra, and the International Extra, to enhance your base package.
Fubo Elite
If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.
Stars of the show
The series is led by Zachary Quinto (Dr. Wolf), perhaps best known for his role as Sylar on the hit show Heroes. Joining him are Alex MacNicoll (Dr. Van Markus), star of multiple dramas including Criminal Minds; Teddy Sears (Dr. Josh Nichols), who has starred in crime dramas like CSI: Miami and Law & Order: Criminal Intent; Ashleigh Lathrop (Dr. Ericka Kinney), who had one of her first roles on an episode of Chicago P.D; among many others.
