Overview
- NBC and multiple trades reported on Monday that Damon Wayans will guest-star in the Season 3 premiere of St. Denis Medical as Dr. Highland.
- Dr. Highland is described as a “charming but pompous” physician who fills in while Ron, played by David Alan Grier, recovers from heart surgery.
- The cameo reunites Wayans and Grier from their In Living Color days and is expected to complicate the unresolved romantic tension introduced at the end of Season 2.
- Season 3 of St. Denis Medical is scheduled to premiere Monday, November 2 at 8 p.m. on NBC, and Seasons 1–2 are streaming on Peacock.
- The show’s creators Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin return with Ledgin as showrunner, and producers say the new episode will weave Wayans’s guest turn into the series’ ongoing staffing and interpersonal storylines.
