NBC has renewed each of its second-year comedies “St. Denis Medical” and “Happy’s Place” for the 2026-27 season.
For the 2025-26 season, “St. Denis Medical” is the only primetime comedy across all the broadcast networks to see season-over-season linear growth in the 18-49 demo.*
Coming off hot after the winter break, the Jan. 5 episode of “St. Denis Medical” was a huge performer in both the demo and total viewers. It was the highest-rated episode in the demo since the series premiere in November 2024. In total viewers, the episode ranked as the most-watched of the current season. “St. Denis Medical” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and next day on Peacock.
“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. In season two, after receiving a large private donation, hospital administrator Joyce bites off more than she can chew while her employees navigate staff shortages, office conflicts and their own personal lives.
In “Happy’s Place” Bobbie (Reba McEntire) inherits her father’s tavern (Happy’s Place) and is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), a twentysomething half-sister that she never knew she had.
