NBC‘s freshman series St. Denis Medical has been renewed for a second season ahead of tonight’s midseason premiere.
Set at an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital, the mockumentary-style comedy follows the dedicated doctors and nurses who try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.
Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper and Kaliko Kauahi star in the series created by Superstore and American Auto‘s Eric Ledgin and Justin Spitzer.
The series airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT following a lead-in from Night Court, currently in its third season, and streams the next day on Peacock.
St. Denis Medical is NBC’s top new show of the broadcast season in the 18-49 demo, per seven-day viewing numbers from the network.
Following its premiere November 12, NBC touted the first episode saw an 85% audience growth across seven days. The second episode retained 82%, or roughly 3.3 million, of the premiere’s L+SD audience. NBC ordered five new episodes for Season 1 in June.
Alongside showrunner Ledgin and Spitzer, Simon Heuer, Ruben Fleischer, Bridget Kyle and Vicky Luu also executive produce. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Spitzer Holding Company are producers.
