Do No Harm is an American medical drama television series that aired on NBC from January 31 through September 7, 2013.[1] The series follows Dr. Jason Cole as he balances working as a neurosurgeon with suppressing his evil alter ego, Ian Price.

Do No Harm is a modern take on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.[2][3][4] The series was panned by critics, and holds a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.[5]

The network placed a series order in May 2012.[6] On November 12, 2012, NBC reduced its episode order for the series from 13 to 12 episodes, due to scheduling conflicts[7] (13 episodes were produced and eventually aired).

On February 8, 2013, it was announced that NBC had cancelled the series after airing two episodes, due to low ratings.[8][9][10] On April 26, 2013, NBC announced that the remaining episodes would be burned off, beginning June 29, 2013.[11]
