The critically praised comedy TV series, St. Denis Medical, has been granted another season for 2024. Originating from the creative mind of Justin Spitzer, who is also behind Superstore, and Eric Ledgin, a writer known for Mrs. Fletcher and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, St. Denis Medical is a mockumentary that focuses on a dedicated medical team at an underfunded Oregon hospital. They strive to help their patients as well as themselves amidst challenging circumstances. Featuring a talented ensemble of comedic actors, St. Denis Medical was one of the unexpected successes of last year, earning two nominations for Critics’ Choice Awards during its current airing.
This morning, it was announced that the medical drama “St. Denis Medical” has been given a second season by NBC. The program airs on Tuesday evenings on NBC, with new episodes becoming available the following day on Peacock. As per NBC, this multi-platform show has attracted a total of 21.4 million viewers so far and is the network’s top-performing new series for viewers aged 18-49 in the current 2024-25 season. On Rotten Tomatoes, “St. Denis Medical” currently boasts an impressive critics score of 88%, while audience reactions have been a bit more divided at 73%. Despite this, if NBC’s viewership numbers are accurate, it appears that “St. Denis Medical” has more than justified its renewal for Season 2 and could potentially become a cornerstone series for the network.
The NBC series titled ‘St. Denis Medical’ follows the story of an overwhelmed Oregon hospital that struggles with insufficient funding and staffing. Despite these challenges, the devoted medical professionals strive tirelessly to provide quality care for their patients, all while preserving their own mental wellbeing.
‘St. Denis Medical’ Is the Latest Breakout Mockumentary
Television shows typically require several seasons to find their rhythm, a concept that streaming platforms often disregard. However, NBC’s new sitcom appears to be swiftly gaining popularity and heading towards mainstream acceptance. This is noteworthy since it’s the latest mockumentary generating buzz across multiple platforms. Yes, medical dramas on cable are popular, but educational series aren’t far behind. The Emmy-winning show Abbott Elementary, which recently crossed paths with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is currently one of the most liked and acclaimed mockumentary series on TV since The Office concluded its successful run in 2013.
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I must say that St. Denis Medical, NBC’s latest foray into mockumentary style following Superstore, which wrapped up after six seasons in 2021, feels like a natural extension from the mind of its creator. Both series share a similar wit and humor, making it easy to see the connection. While critics seem to be warming up to St. Denis Medical, it’s essential to remember that Superstore amassed quite a dedicated fanbase over its run, and reaching those heights would indeed be an impressive feat for the new medical drama. Of course, only time will tell if St. Denis Medical has what it takes to become a long-lasting series, but fans can make their own judgments as the show unfolds during its 18-episode season.
