St. Denis Medical might be your next watch if you enjoy workplace mockumentaries like The Office and Superstore.
Executive producer Justin Spitzer brings you a new workplace sitcom set in a hospital. The show is joined by a fantastic lineup of actors sure to brighten your day.
NBC has always been known for its lineup of great sitcoms that have gone down as hits in television history. This new sitcom, with an unconventional setting for a comedy, claims to be the next.
The show, releasing on November 12, 2024, follows the lives of doctors and nurses working at St. Denis.
Is there a release date for St. Denis Medical?
Here is the first look at the medical sitcom with all the cast talking about their characters-
The show will premiere with a double episode, airing back-to-back on November 12, 2024, at 8 p.m. on NBC.
Episodes 1 and 2 are titled "Welcome to St. Denis" and "A Very Robust Personal Life" respectively. The show will continue to air every Tuesday following its premiere.
While the number of episodes has yet to be confirmed, viewers can also stream the episodes the next day on Peacock.
What is the plot of St. Denis Medical?
While many shows are set in hospitals, it is an unusual setting for a sitcom. While workplace mockumentaries are common with shows like The Office, Superstore, and Parks and Recreations, setting a sitcom in a hospital will be interesting.
The official logline for St. Denis Medical reads as follows-
''It follows an underfunded, understaffed hospital where the doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.''
The show is expected to follow the lives of doctors and nurses working at St. Denis and the challenges they face daily in their personal and professional lives.
''I think the characters are so personable. It's a hospital setting, so there are a lot of high-stakes things going on. But what makes it so fun and real and heartfelt is that it feels like real people with real stories. Yes, they are doctors and nurses, and they have a job. But they're all just like human beings. I think in such a high-stakes environment, that just brings out comedy.'', Kahyun Kim on the show
