NBC returns two comedies on Monday 2 November: St. Denis Medical season 3 at 8 p.m. and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins season 2 at 8:30 p.m., according to DIRECTV Insider’s premiere guide, Den of Geek’s 2026 calendar and Rotten Tomatoes’ premiere dates calendar. Both shows stream the next day on Peacock, according to DIRECTV.
St. Denis Medical, NBC’s well-reviewed workplace comedy, returns for a third season, while Reggie Dinkins, which stars Tracy Morgan as a disgraced former football star attempting to rehabilitate his image with a documentary, returns for a second season, according to Metacritic’s November preview, which described the latter as having definite 30 Rock vibes. DIRECTV lists the Reggie Dinkins premiere at 8:30 p.m. on NBC and Peacock, with St. Denis Medical at 8 p.m.
A Monday comedy block
The pairing gives NBC a full hour of comedy on Monday night, a slot the network has used to anchor its week. St. Denis Medical’s mockumentary hospital setting and Reggie Dinkins’ sports-documentary premise offer contrasting comic worlds, but both rely on ensemble performance and cringe comedy rather than multi-camera setups.
Metacritic’s preview highlighted Reggie Dinkins as a show to watch in November, noting Morgan’s central performance as the engine of the series. The show’s premise, a fallen sports star filming his own comeback, allows for both satire of sports media and a character study of fame after disgrace.
Part of a busy November 2
The same night also brings Holiday Baking Championship season 13 on Food Network at 8 p.m., according to DIRECTV, and the Roku Channel drama film The Holiday Spark, giving viewers a crowded Monday choice. For NBC, the comedy block is the centrepiece of its November return slate, arriving the day after The Gilded Age season 4 premieres on HBO. The two networks’ November strategies could hardly be more different: prestige period drama on Sunday, workplace and sports comedy on Monday.
