The villain of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is coming to Netflix in her own series, called Ratched. We're here to give you the lowdown on this electric new show, from who's playing the infamous nurse to the talent behind the camera.
So where and when can you watch Ratched? The show is coming to Netflix and, from the sound of things, there is already a multi-season arc planned out. Netflix reportedly signed the show up for two seasons right out of the gate, and star Sarah Paulson has revealed plans for at least four seasons, saying in 2019:
"Ideally, by the time we're in season four, we're in that story of the Cuckoo's Nest."
When will the series hit the streaming service? The first season is set to debut on September 18, 2020. Like all Netflix series, Ratched will be released in its entirety on that day, giving you eight episodes to watch if you want to binge the whole thing on day one.
If you're keeping score, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was released in 1962, and the film version was released in 1975. Really, it's about time we added something new to this classic tale of conformity and individualism.
Nurse Ratched is one of the most iconic film villains of all time, so it goes without saying that a powerhouse actor is needed to take on the role. In the 1975 film, Louise Fletcher was that actress. Fletcher actually won the only Oscar of her storied career for playing the uncaring nurse. Luckily, the Ratched series has a pretty strong successor to Fletcher in the lead role: Sarah Paulson.
Paulson is probably best known for her work in the American Horror Story and American Crime Story anthology series, for which she has won numerous awards. But she has plenty of other strong work on her resume: Highlights include Glass, 12 Years a Slave, Bird Box, and Mrs. America. Keep watching the video to see everything you should know about Ratched.
