The series is based on the Sheri Fink novel of the same name. It chronicles the first five days in a New Orleans, LA, hospital after Hurricane Katrina made landfall. When the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers were forced to make life-and-death decisions that haunted them for years to come.

Jones will play Susan Mulderick, a hospital nursing director and head of the emergency preparedness committee, who becomes the designated incident commander for Hurricane Katrina. Jones joins previously announced cast members Vera Farmiga, Adepero Oduye, Julie Ann Emery, and Cornelius Smith Jr. Jones is a three-time Emmy Award winner — the first for the Fox series “24,” the second for Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and most recently for HBO’s “Succession.” She also recently appeared in the Apple limited series “Defending Jacob” opposite Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, and Jaeden Martell. Her other TV roles include “11.22.63,” “American Crime,” and “Transparent.” On the film side, she has starred in features such as “Erin Brockovich,” “Cradle Will Rock,” and “The Village.
