This week, a new out-of-this-world medical is paging viewers to Prime Video: From Emmy-winning creator Cirocco Dunlap and Maya Rudolph, Danielle Renfrew Behrens and Natasha Lyonne’s Animal Pictures, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy premieres February 23, introducing viewers to Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak — intergalactically renowned surgeons and best friends, working together to tackle any malady the cosmos throw at them.
In a new exclusive clip shared with Animation Magazine, we get an advance look at the premiere episode. The excerpt features Dr. Klak (Keke Palmer), Dr. Sleech (Stephanie Hsu), Dr. Vlam (Maya Rudolph) and Dr. Plowp (Kieran Culkin). In Season 1, doctors Sleech and Klak take on a highly dangerous and potentially groundbreaking case and, in doing so, put existence itself in jeopardy. (Although considering their dismal personal lives, oblivion might be an improvement.)
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, with animation by Titmouse Studios, and is under a two-season order from Prime Video, which will stream The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Series creator Dunlap also serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer along with executive producers Rudolph, Behrens and Lyonne for Animal Pictures. Shauna McGarry, Shannon Prynoski, Chris Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina from Titmouse executive produce. Artist and animator Robin Eisenberg is co-producer and production designer.
