Kelsea Ballerini & Shania Twain Take to the Seas in Trailer for New Medical Drama ‘Doctor Odyssey’: Watch

The upcoming ABC series Doctor Odyssey has some country music cred, judging from the series’ new trailer. The teaser, which arrived Tuesday (Sept. 17) features both Kelsea Ballerini and Shania Twain, who will have guest-starring roles, though details on those roles have not been revealed.

The trailer features a scene with Ballerini being checked out by Dr. Max, while another moment features Twain dancing in the ship’s ballroom with Don Johnson, whose role has also not yet been detailed.

Doctor Odyssey stars actor Joshua Jackson (Dawson’s Creek, Dr. Death), who portrays Dr. Max, an on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship. He and the rest of the ship’s medical team work to navigate medical crises. Other stars in the series include Johnson (Miami Vice, Nash Bridges), Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale.

Ballerini expressed excitement for her work on the series after the teaser arrived. “Spent the last few weeks literally screaming crying and throwing up in the dramatic, fabulous world of #doctorodyssey and crossing guest star off the bucket list,” Ballerini wrote on Instagram Tuesday, accenting her caption with a heart emoji. “This incredible show premiers [sic] september 26th on @abc and streams on @hulu. (more soon on my episode and obsession with the utterly lovely kind and brilliant cast).”

Ballerini previously appeared on the television series Nashville in 2016, but is known for her cinematic music videos, such as those from her 2023 project Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, and the clip for her song “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Two).” Twain has made appearances in television series including Monarch, Broad City and A Man in Full.

Doctor Odyssey is written and executive produced by Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken and Ryan Murphy, with Paris Barclay directing and executive producing. 

Doctor Odyssey will premiere Sept. 26 on ABC, and will also stream on Hulu.
