Coma is a 2012 American television miniseries based on the 1977 novel Coma by Robin Cook, which had previously been adapted into a 1978 film. The four-hour medical thriller was originally broadcast on A&E on September 3–4, 2012.
The series was directed by Mikael Salomon and produced by Ridley Scott and his brother Tony Scott, the same team that adapted The Andromeda Strain into the 2008 miniseries on A&E. It is dedicated to Tony Scott, who died in August 2012, only weeks before its broadcast premiere.
