NBC has picked up 5 additional episodes of St. Denis Medical, bringing the Season 1 order for the single-camera comedy to 18 episodes.
The news comes as the mockumentary, from the Superstore duo of Jason Spitzer and Eric Ledgin, is wrapping production on its original 13 episodes, so the back order will allow the show to stay in continuous production. It follows a pickup of five additional scripts a few weeks ago.
The episodic order also comes a month after NBC unveiled its fall 2024 schedule, with St. Denis Medical as a Tuesday anchor, opening the night at 8 PM where Superstore aired for most of its run.
NBCUniversal brass have been bullish on the project, starring Allison Tolman, Wendi McClendon-Covey and David Alan Grier, from the pilot stage. It was a highlight at an offsite meeting this Wednesday with top executives from Mark Lazarus’ NBCUniversal Media Group where a subsequent episode was screened to strong reception.
St. Denis Medical, originally picked up to series for the 2023-24 season but delayed by the strikes, is set at an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.
The cast also includes Josh Lawson, Mekki Leeper, Kahyun Kim and Kaliko Kauahi. Spitzer and Ledgin write and executive produce. Simon Heuer also executive produces with director Ruben Fleischer (pilot only). Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces in association with Spitzer Holding Company.
St. Denis Medical is one of two new comedies on NBC’s fall schedule. The other, multi-camera sitcom Happy’s Place starring Reba McEntire, is on a different production schedule as it was just picked up to series last month.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer “In the next 45 minutes, we’re about to hear Gus speak more than he has in the last 40 years,” Vito Schnabel, the art world scion who is increasingly turning his head toward Hollywood, told a crowd at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival last week. He was there to moderate a conversation with American heavyweight filmmaker Gus Van Sant, who just directed Schnabel (and a pack of actors barreling toward Emmy nominations) in “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.” That history, of a glittery New York whose underbelly was found in the bedrooms and hallways of the ruling class, took a back seat to Van Sant’s impactful career.
