The second season of the Oregon-themed show “St. Denis Medical” is scheduled to air on Nov. 3.
“St. Denis Medical” is a series that premiered on NBC in 2024 and saw favorable reviews from audiences and critics.
The show is set in a hospital called St. Denis Medical Center in the fictional town of Merrick, Oregon.
The mockumentary-style show (think “Parks and Recreation” or “The Office”) examines how its nurses and doctors try to navigate the chaos of their professional lives while trying to maintain balance in their personal ones.
Here’s what to know about the show and how to watch.
The cast of St. Denis Medical on NBC
Was “St. Denis Medical” filmed in Oregon?
St. Denis Medical was created by Eric Ledgin, whose writing credits include shows like “Superstore” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and Justin Spitzer, known for shows like “The Office,” “Superstore” and “American Auto.”
While the show wasn’t filmed in Oregon, they chose to set the show in the Beaver State because it is “underrepresented” and beautiful, Ledgin said at the 2024 Television Critics Association summer press tour.
Ledgin said research for the show partly came from interviews with a small town Oregon nurse, but the name “Merrick” comes from his own hometown of Merrick, New York.

Who stars in ‘St. Denis Medical?’
“St. Denis Medical” stars Allison Cara Tolman (“Fargo,” “Why Women Kill”) who plays caring and overworked nurse Alex, and Wendi McLendon-Covey (“The Goldbergs,” “Bridesmaids”) who plays enthusiastic hospital administrator Joyce. The show also stars David Alan Grier, Kahyun Kim, Kaliko Kauahi, Mekki Leeper and Josh Lawson.
Each of the characters balance each other and highlights the so-real-it’s-comical elements that come with working in a medical facility. The series also showcases why medical workers endure the challenges of the industry.
