Next week, see how a doctor handles life as one Georgia county’s only physician, learn how the British royal family deals with its trials and tribulations and much more. Take a look at what's coming up!

There is only one doctor in rural Clay County, Georgia, one of the state’s poorest and unhealthiest counties. After several years of working without pay, she can no longer volunteer full-time and faces the possibility of closing her clinic. Committed to her community, she seeks to continue serving her patients amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, dwindling support and broken promises.

Like most families, the royal family has had to deal with crises - feuds, heartbreak, sibling rivalries, affairs, divorces and deaths. But they also have had to face assassination attempts, kidnappings, tabloid scandals and terrorist bombs. Across the last seven decades, Queen Elizabeth II steered them through each and every one of these predicaments. With her reign now ended, this series captures the powerful real-life human drama of the greatest remaining dynasty in Europe.
