St. Denis Medical is a new comedy that proves laughter is the best medicine. Doctors have been at the center of some of the greatest TV dramas of all time, but great humor can also be found at hospitals. St. Denis Medical brings something fresh to TV, re-envisioning high-stakes hospital life as a comedy with a healthy dose of heart thrown in.

How to Watch

Watch new episodes of St. Denis Medical Tuesdays on NBC and next day on Peacock.

Co-created by executive producer Justin Spitzer, who brought us Superstore, and Eric Ledgin, you can expect a lot of silliness coupled with emotional life-or-death moments (just like a real hospital) from each episode. If you want to make sure you're catching this new and exciting comedy joining fellow workplace hits like The Office and Parks and Recreationbelow we've got everything you need to know to catch St. Denis Medical

When do new episodes of St. Denis Medical air?

Following the premiere episode, St. Denis Medical will air brand new episodes every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. All those episodes will be available to stream the following morning on Peacock. So, there's nothing stopping you from catching each new installment of the show and re-watching them to your heart's content with your Peacock subscription. 

When was the St. Denis Medical premiere date?

The new comedy debuted on Tuesday, November 12, at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC, with two back-to-back episodes. With the double dose of medical comedy, viewers got to know all the exciting and quirky characters that make the fictional hospital, St. Denis Medical, tick before the show began its regular schedule.

Is St. Denis Medical streaming? 

Yes, you'll be able to catch new episodes of St. Denis Medical streaming the day after they premiere only on Peacock. So, if you're reading this after November 12, there are already episodes available for you! 

What is St. Denis Medical about?

The new comedy follows the daily interactions of the doctors, nurses, and patients at a busy, understaffed fictional hospital in an Oregon town. At the head of the workplace hierarchy is Joyce, an ambitious hospital administrator played by Wendi McClendon-Covey (The Goldbergs, Reno 911!), who is not above doing cartwheels to boost staff morale and has big plans for the hospital. Main cast members include David Alan Grier (The American Society of Magical Negroes), playing a jaded emergency room doctor and divorcee, and Allison Tolman (Fargo), a diligent, no-nonsense nursing supervisor.

They’re joined by an impressive group of comedy veterans who promise to turn the serious genre of medical dramas on its ear. Josh Lawson (Mortal Kombat, Superstore) plays a cocky trauma surgeon, while Mekki Leeper (The Sex Lives of College Girls) depicts an earnest and freshly minted E.R. nurse. Kahyun Kim (Cocaine Bear) and Kaliko Kauahi (Superstore) round out the star-studded cast.

The series is filmed in a mockumentary format reminiscent of The Office, with amusing cutaways in which the actors sometimes speak directly to the camera. But St. Denis Medical plays on that style in a “different, interesting way,” Spitzer revealed to NBC Insider. We can’t wait to find out.
