Joshua Jackson is Hotter Than Ever in the Newest Teaser for Doctor Odyssey

The premiere of Doctor Odyssey—ABC’s newest series starring Joshua Jackson—can’t come soon enough. Created by Ryan Murphy (Feud, AHS, 9-1-1, Glee, and more), the procedural takes place on a luxury cruise ship, features lots of hot people, and can best be described as Below Deck meets Grey’s Anatomy meets The Love Boat. It’s also premiering in the coveted Thursday night time slot between two of ABC’s hottest shows—9-1-1 and Grey’s—which makes total sense since this show has BDE. (Big Deck Energy, people!)

We never knew how badly we needed Joshua Jackson as an on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship until now.

Details of the show have been kept tightly under wraps, but with the premiere right around the corner, we’re finally getting a closer look at just what takes place on the high seas. And the newest teaser—which Glamour can exclusively reveal—is most the scintillating—and frankly NSFW, one yet. Just warning you now…

While we wait for the official trailer to drop, we’ll just be re-watching the above for the next few weeks. And clearing our schedules for September 26.

Want more? Of course you do. Here’s what else we know about the drama series, and who’s playing who.

What is Doctor Odyssey about?

Here’s the official description, per ABC publicity: “From the brilliant mind of Ryan Murphy comes high-octane procedural, Doctor Odyssey. Max (Joshua Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”

When does it air?

Thursday, September 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, 8 p.m. CT on ABC, and streaming the next day on Hulu. It’s already being primed for success, because it’s sandwiched in between 9-1-1 (at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. CT) and Grey’s Anatomy (at 10 p.m. ET/PT, 9 p.m. CT).
