EXCLUSIVE: We have the first big sale of the 2022-23 broadcast development season. NBC has handed a pilot production commitment to St. Denis Medical, a half-hour mockumentary-style workplace comedy from the Superstore and American Auto duo of Justin Spitzer, who created both series, and Eric Ledgin as well as Universal TV, where Spitzer and Ledgin are under overall deals. Additionally, Spitzer’s Uni TV-based Spitzer Holding Company has hired NBC comedy executive Simon Heuer as Head of TV Development.
Written by Spitzer and Ledgin, St. Denis Medical is a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.
Spitzer, Ledgin and Heuer executive produce for Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Spitzer Holding Company.
This marks the latest workplace comedy for Spitzer, whose very first writing credit was on an episode of NBC’s medical comedy series Scrubs. He later joined NBC/Uni TV’s mockumentary workplace comedy The Office at the start of Season 3 as an executive story editor and remained on the Emmy-winning series through its ninth and final season, rising to co-executive producer. Spitzer went on to create, executive produce and serve as showrunner on two other NBC/Uni TV’s workplace comedies, Superstore and American Auto.
Under his overall deal with Universal Television, which he extended last year, Spitzer continues as showrunner and executive producer on American Auto, which was renewed for a second season, while also developing new projects across various platforms via his Spitzer Holding Company, with Heuer now overseeing development and producing alongside Spitzer.
