NBC Premieres New Comedy Series St. Denis Medical

NBC's new mockumentary series 'St. Denis Medical,' premiering on November 12, follows the comedic exploits of underfunded hospital staff in Central Oregon. Created by Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin, the show features a talented cast including Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, and Allison Tolman, who portray characters navigating both the challenges of healthcare and the humor found in daily interactions. The show balances comedy with heartfelt moments, as seen in characters like Alex, a dedicated nurse struggling to care for herself while helping others. The series leans into the mockumentary format, allowing for direct engagement with the audience and opportunities for humor through character interactions. Executive producer Ledgin emphasized the choice of the Pacific Northwest setting for its underrepresentation in television, aiming to bring attention to the region and its unique stories. With a blend of veteran comedic talent and fresh narratives, 'St. Denis Medical' aims to carve out its niche in the landscape of workplace comedies.
