The series premiered on NBC on Tuesday, November 12, with a special hour-long debut that aired two back-to-back episodes.
Starring a talented ensemble cast including Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper, and Kaliko Kauahi, St. Denis Medical offers plenty of humor and heartfelt moments.
Here's a full guide on when and where to catch the show, what to expect, and episode schedules.
What is St. Denis Medical about?
St. Denis Medical is set in a low-budget, understaffed hospital in Oregon, following the lives of dedicated but quirky healthcare professionals who are trying to keep things together. The storyline offers a humorous and relatable glimpse into the struggles of hospital staff in a challenging environment.
The show centers around a nurse named Alex, played by Allison Tolman, who is determined to leave on time to attend her kid’s school event but finds herself repeatedly drawn back to work. Her co-worker, Dr. Ron (David Alan Grier), is more jaded and practical, seeing patients as projects he constantly patches up.
New episodes of St. Denis Medical air every Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC. If you miss the live airing, episodes are available the next day on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. So, whether you prefer watching live or catching up later, you have both options.
