Presented by Citi. Stars and creatives of NBC's Transplant (Hamza Haq, John Hannah, Laurence Leboeuf, Jim Watson, Ayisha Issa, Joseph Kay, and
Virginia Rankin) gather with moderator Lorraine Ali at PaleyFest Fall TV Previews 2020 to celebrate their show. Topics include: how the Canadian production was picked up by
NBC for broadcast; Rankin's fears that the show wouldn't be an "easy sell" to any network; the background research undertaken by Haq, a Pakistani native who grew up in
Saudi Arabia, to play a Syrian refugee; the trial for all the actors of memorizing and pronouncing endless bits of medical jargon; Ayisha's thoughts on the polarization of black characters on television; how the show separates itself from other medical dramas; and Kay's intention to create a series peopled by flawed characters who "mess up" as often as they succeed.
