Mandy Moore didn't take much time off after giving birth to her second child, Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett.
Just six weeks after the baby boy was born, she was back to work on the second season of “Dr. Death” by Peacock.
And while that may sound tiring, the This is Us alum, 39, welcomed the change.
“I think that kind of made it easier,” Moore told People at the premiere of the new season of Dr. Death.
“It all happened so fast that I wasn't able to cognitively understand it all.” I thought, “Oh wait, I'm already in New York and we're filming and I have a six-week-old baby.”

Just six weeks after giving birth, she was back to work on the second season of Peacock's Dr. Death”.
The “A Walk to Remember” star reflected on how she would have reacted if she had had more time to prepare for the new season.
'Yes. I think if it had been a little planned I would have been stressed and more anxious about it, but because everything came together so quickly and at the last minute, I kind of went along with it,” she continued.
“I think it made it easier not to bring work home with you,” she added as she returned to breastfeeding and caring for Ozzie after working on the intense role.
Moore is also mother to August “Gus” Harrison and husband Tyler Goldsmith.
Jennifer Morrison, 44, directed Moore in her role as investigative journalist Benita Alexander.
“Dude, it was crazy,” Morrison told People.
“She has a six-week-old baby and you would never have known it.” She was so graceful, so professional. We never felt like she had a baby, except that she had this beautiful child. She was so dedicated.'
Dr. Death is based on the true life story of surgeons who engage in gross medical malpractice.
The first season is about American neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, who was convicted after mutilating his patients and killing two of them.
