The mockumentary is set at St. Denis Regional Medical Center, following an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.

St. Denis Medical is not the only place Madix is returning this fall. This week, it was confirmed that she would return to Broadway and join the Just in Time musical as Connie Francis.

Just in Time stars Jeremy Jordan as Bobby Darin, the legendary singer whose short but remarkable life took him from teen idol to global sensation and inspired generations of performers who followed. The musical transports audiences into an intimate, swinging nightclub complete with a live band, a stellar ensemble cast, and iconic Bobby Darin hits including “Beyond the Sea,” “Mack the Knife,” “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover.”

Madix next will be seen co-hosting Peacock’s Love Island USA Season 8 reunion alongside Andy Cohen, set to stream on Monday, August 31, at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Madix is represented by Gersh, and her management is Venture Entertainment Partners; legal is Hansen Jacobson Teller.
