Wendi McLendon-Covey will lead NBC comedy pilot St. Denis Medical.
The Goldbergs might be ending soon, but Wendi McLendon-Covey isn't done with sitcoms just yet. According to Deadline, the comedic actress has signed on to headline a comedy pilot for a medical drama mockumentary titled St. Denis Medical.
Set in modern times in contrast to The Goldbergs, the series will see McLendon-Covey transform from the 80s retro mom outfits she's been sporting from 2013 into scrubs and lab coats. She will lead the show as Joyce, a former oncological surgeon who now leads the titular hospital as its Executive Director. Joyce has a huge responsibility on her shoulders as St. Denis Medical is facing several administrative problems from poor funding to under-staffing.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY McLendon-Covey who has over the years maintained equal activity levels on both the small and big screen is best known for her long-running role as Beverly Goldberg on The Goldbergs. The role has earned her two nominations for Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. Prior to The Goldbergs, McLendon-Covey featured in Reno 911!, Lovespring International, and Rules of Engagement.
