St. Denis Medical Season 3 Kicks Off with Sharp Medical Show Parody
3 Nov
Summary
- Season 3 premiere referenced 'The Pitt' and Noah Wyle's character.
- Guest star Damon Wayans played Dr. Highland, a Noah Wyle parody.
- The show continues to feature comedy and romantic plotlines.
The third season of St. Denis Medical has premiered, launching with an episode that humorously referenced the popular medical drama 'The Pitt.' The premiere, "He Ain't Noah Wyle," featured guest star Damon Wayans as Dr. Highland, whose performative style and attire were a clear parody of Noah Wyle's character, Dr. Robby, from 'The Pitt.' Creator Eric Ledgin explained the show's ease in referencing 'The Pitt' due to its popularity and accuracy, noting that such references can be tricky when involving actors from the referenced shows.
The episode also continued to explore romantic plotlines left unresolved from the previous season, maintaining the show's signature comedic mockumentary style. While Dr. Highland's presence was temporary, seemingly concluding with Ron's return to work, the creative team hopes for continued nods to 'The Pitt.'
Fans can look forward to further developments in Season 3, including additional guest stars and escalating chaotic situations. New episodes of St. Denis Medical air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with subsequent streaming available on Peacock.
