Netflix have released a trailer for the upcoming film The Good Nurse, which is based on a ‘unthinkable true story’. Watch the trailer here:
The Good Nurse is actually based on the book, The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder by Charles Graeber.
Jessica Chastain, fresh from her recent Oscars victory for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, stars in the upcoming Netflix film and is chasing down a serial killer who is murdering patients.

The new thriller tells the story of Charles Cullen, a nurse and serial killer who has confessed to killing up to 40 patients over the course of his career.
The story also follows Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain), a single mother working night shifts as a nurse while struggling with a life-threatening heart condition.
Already stretched to her limits by her demanding job, Loughren soon becomes suspicious of her friend and co-worker Cullen after a series of mysterious deaths spark an investigation, which leads to a lot of the evidence pointing the finger towards him.
Accompanying this new trailer, Netflix released a sort description on the film's official page on what to expect from The Good Nurse when it releases next month on the streaming service.
