Fans of TV medical shows will get to see the return of some tried-and-true favorites this fall — 9-1-1 Season 8 , Chicago Med Season 10 , and Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 — and there are some promising new additions to the broadcast and cable lineups on the way as well. There are five— yes, five — new doctor-centric shows premiering soon, so which one is the right fit for you? If you’re in the market for a Scrubs -like hospital workplace comedy, St. Denis Medical is where it’s at.
Of all the new medical shows hitting the airwaves soon, only one is a straight-up comedy series: St. Denis Medical , which premieres on NBC on November 12. The network itself is comparing the “mockumentary”-style series to other workplace comedy shows like The Office , and it sounds like it’d be a good fit for fans of screwball humor like in Scrubs as well.
The show centers on the nurses and doctors working at an underfunded hospital in Oregon and stars Wendi McLendon-Covey and David Alan Grier and is written and produced by the creators of Superstore . For a light-hearted medical drama in the vein of Royal Pains , Doctor Odyssey might just be the ticket. Another Ryan Murphy procedural is heading to ABC to join the lineup of 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy Thursdays — this time, it’s Doctor Odyssey , which stars Joshua Jackson as Max, a charming new doctor for a luxury cruise ship who has a lot of fun on board when he’s not busy saving the day for passengers.
