On Friday, August 11, the popular streamer will release Heart of Stone, an intriguing spy thriller starring Gadot.

On Thursday, August 10, Netflix will release Painkiller, a limited series focusing on the opioid crisis. Based on Barry Meier’s book Pain Killer and the New Yorker Magazine article “The Family That Built the Empire of Pain” by Patrick Radden Keefe, Painkiller is directed by Peter Berg.

The six-episode drama is described as a “fictionalized retelling of events,” per the official synopsis. “It explores some of the origins and aftermath of the opioid crisis in America, highlighting the stories of the perpetrators, victims, and truth-seekers whose lives are forever altered by the invention of OxyContin. An examination of crime, accountability, and the systems that have repeatedly failed hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
