MANILA, Philippines — Witness the origin of one the world’s most iconic characters brought to life by the creator of "American Horror Story," Ryan Murphy. The eight-episode series premieres on Netflix Friday, September 18. 

From Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, "Ratched" is a suspenseful drama series that tells the origin story of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched.

 

 

In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred’s stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smoldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born.

"Ratched" was inspired by the iconic and unforgettable character of Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and was created by Evan Romansky. The series stars Sarah Paulson as Mildred Ratched, Cynthia Nixon as Gwendolyn Briggs, Judy Davis as Nurse Betsy Bucket, Sharon Stone as Lenore Osgood, Jon Jon Briones as Dr. Richard Hanover, Finn Wittrock as Edmund Tolleson, Charlie Carver as Huck, Alice Englert as Dolly, Amanda Plummer as Louise, Corey Stoll as Charles Wainwright, Sophie Okonedo as  Charlotte Wells, Brandon Flynn as Henry Osgood and Vincent D’Onofrio as Gov. George Wilburn.
