Before it graces our screens on November 12, here is everything you’ll want to know about NBC’s upcoming comedy St. Denis Medical.
What is St. Denis Medical about?
As mentioned, this mockumentary-style sitcom is about the employees of an underfunded and understaffed hospital in Oregon. Like real-life medical professionals, the characters come to work every day trying to balance their innate desire to do their very best to help people with their innate desire to not lose their own sanity.
Unlike most workplace comedies, the stakes simply couldn’t be higher for these healthcare professionals every day as they’re dealing with people’s lives. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not many, many laughs to be had throughout each episode.
When does St. Denis Medical premiere?
The hospital opens its doors on November 12 with two back-to-back episodes that will introduce the world to the characters and their high-pressure setting. After the two-episode premiere, the show will begin airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. just before Season 3 of Night Court at 8:30 p.m. Episodes will then be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
