Pitch

Title: “Anatomy of a Breakthrough”

Imagine Quantum Leap meets Cosmos — but for medicine. “Anatomy of a Breakthrough” is a historically accurate medical anthology drama where each episode explores a single pivotal medical discovery. From battlefield amputations to artificial wombs, each story stands alone, yet is tied together by a futuristic classroom of young students learning about humanity’s messy, miraculous journey through medicine.

Each episode opens in the year 2200, where ten-year-old students in sleek, white uniforms watch the drama of history unfold through immersive simulation. They observe not only what was discovered, but why it mattered, what was misunderstood, and how modern ethics would reinterpret it.

Dramatic moments are not invented — they’re pulled from the historical record. Real discoveries, real consequences, real debate.

Recurring cast. Different eras. Different wardrobes. Always a story worth knowing.
