After finding success with workplace comedies like THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, PARKS & REC, and SUPERSTORE, NBC is hoping they’ve found the next show to add to that list: ST. DENIS MEDICAL.

The series (which debuts Tuesday, November 12 at 8/7c with two episodes) is a mockumentary-style show, set at a ragtag Oregon hospital, where the doctors, nurses, and administrators struggle to treat the patients and keep the hospital afloat. (The ensemble includes Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper, and Kaliko Kauahi.)

At the helm are co-creators Eric Ledgin and Justin Spitzer, who have built up an impressive resume over the past couple of decades: Spitzer created SUPERSTORE and AMERICAN AUTO (and worked on THE OFFICE); Ledgin, who is the official showrunner for ST. DENIS MEDICAL, wrote on SUPERSTORE, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, and RUTHERFORD FALLS, as well as serving as the #2 on AMERICAN AUTO.

Here, Ledgin and Spitzer—who sat down with Give Me My Remote over the summer at TCA—preview their new series, share insight into the long process to get season 1 on the air, and more. Read more
