St. Denis Medical’s episode order count has increased. NBC has ordered five additional episodes of the medical comedy-drama series, per Deadline, bringing the count to 18.
Starring Allison Tolman, Wendi McClendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Josh Lawson, Mekki Leeper, Kahyun Kim, and Kaliko Kauahi, the St. Denis Medical series is a mockumentary style show set “at an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.”
This additional episode order comes weeks after the network ordered five additional scripts. It allows the series to stay in production, as filming has just been completed on the original 13-episode order.
Jason Spitzer and Eric Ledgin (Superstore) are behind the series, which is set to anchor NBC’s Tuesday night schedule. The show had been expected to debut during the current 2023-2024 season, but its launch was delayed due to the strikes.
A premiere date for St. Denis Medical will be announced later.
