‘St. Denis Medical’ Co-Creator Breaks Down Joyce’s Big Plan for the Hospital’s Future and Why the Show May Never Address Its Mockumentary Format


'St. Denis Medical' co-creator Eric Ledgins breaks down the Season 1 finale, including Joyce's plan for the birthing center, and plans for Season 2.

But when she is sidelined by an injured ankle, she takes the quieter moment to confide in Ron (David Alan Grier) that she already has her own vision for the windfall –– to open a birthing center at St. Denis to make it the destination for expectant mothers and families outside of Portland. Denis Medical” co-creator and showrunner Eric Ledgins confirms to Variety this isn’t just another fleeting fantasy for Joyce, but rather the path forward for the titular hospital in the already-ordered Season 2. I didn’t want to do a paint-by -numbers ‘Will they won’t they?’ But it felt really fun to have it largely exist in Matt’s mind for Season 1, and now I am happy that we moved it forward in the finale and it feels really right to address that pretty directly in the premiere.
