The doctors and nurses of St. Denis Medical will remain on call at NBC.
The network has ordered a second season of the comedy series, a mockumentary following the overworked staff at an underfunded hospital in Oregon. The renewal comes as the show is set to return from hiatus Tuesday night for the second half of its season.
St. Denis Medical is the first of NBC’s rookie series to earn a renewal for the 2025-26 season. Fellow comedy Happy’s Place, starring Reba McEntire, scored an order for additional episodes in November, usually a promising sign for a series. Medical drama Brilliant Minds wrapped its 13-episode season a week ago; NBC has three dramas — Grosse Pointe Garden Society, The Hunting Party and Suits LA — due to premiere in the next several weeks.
Through its first six episodes, St. Denis Medical is averaging a little below 3 million viewers for its initial airing and improves to 5.2 million with a week of streaming and other delayed viewing. It’s the top new series on NBC among adults 18-49 so far this season, and the network says 21.4 million people have watched at least a few minutes of the show across all platforms.
Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper and Kaliko Kauahi star in St. Denis Medical. Superstore alumni Eric Ledgin and Justin Spitzer created the series, which comes from Universal Television. Ledgin is the showrunner and executive produces with Spitzer (via his Spitzer Holding Company), Simon Heuer, Ruben Fleischer, Bridget Kyle and Vicky Luu.
St. Denis Medical joins fellow broadcast rookies Matlock (CBS) and Universal Basic Guys (Fox) in earning a pickup for next season.
