Dr Uzo Aduba will see you now. Yes, for all Aduba fans, of whom there are plenty, Season 4 of HBO's hit show ‘In Treatment’ sees her play Dr Brooke Taylor. Dr Brooke deals with a diverse range of patients in an observant and empathetic manner while struggling with her own issues. Ten years after the season finale, the show now deals with issues such as the global pandemic and the recent major cultural and social shifts. Aduba takes over the lead role from the iconic Gabriel Byrne.

Speaking of the show, Aduba said, “This is easily one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had in my life, hardest things I’ve ever worked on in terms of preparation. I’m in every scene and everyone in this show is working so hard and so intensely and delivering. It is also one of the most satisfying, fulfilling experiences I’ve also ever had. This project came into my life in a time that was needed and has brought an excitement and energy, there’s a thrill when you go to work. It stretches you, it’s growing me and I’m grateful for it.”

The original 'In Treatment' was based on the Israeli series 'BeTipul' and received seven Emmy nominations during its run.

Cast

Uzo Aduba

Uzo Aduba continues to go from strength to strength. She has been a household name for a while now but 'In Treatment' will mark her first-ever lead role in a TV series. Aduba is extremely excited about the role. She once said, "It's exciting to see the show explored through a female lens now, specifically a Black female Lens. And since I'm playing a therapist, I'm also learning a lot about myself as an artist."

Aduba is of course best known for her role as Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren on the Netflix original series 'Orange is the New Black' and is one of only two actors to win an Emmy Award in both comedy and drama categories for the same role.
