Doctor Richter is a Russian television medical drama that was aired on the Russia-1 network from 2017 to 2019.[2] The series' main character is Dr. Andrei Richter (Alexey Serebryakov), a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the 100th Clinic Hospital in Moscow.[3] The series serves as a direct and authorised remake[4] of House for Russian television, after VGTRK purchased the broadcast rights from NBCUniversal.[5][6][1]
In 2010, a Russian TV series titled Doctor Tyrsa, which was also loosely modelled on House, aired on Channel One Russia, but lasted only one season.
In separate news, Russia's leading public broadcaster, Rossiya 1, has recommissioned a second season of the local adaptation of "House M.D." from NBCUniversal International Formats after the Russian remake grew to become the number one show in its timeslot.
