If you were a fan of 'Childrens Hospital', get set to see the dark comedy’s creative team returning to a new 10-episode spin-off 'Medical Police'. The shows stars Erinn Hayes and Rob Huebel. The show is being dubbed as an action-drama thriller, a suspenseful love story and a travel-themed comedy series. 

Release Date

The comedy series is all set to premiere on Netflix this January 10.

Plot

The show follows two physicians (Erinn Hayes and Rob Huebel) stationed at a pediatric hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, who unwittingly discover a civilization-threatening virus.

It further read, "When a mysterious illness threatens the fate of our planet and life as we know it, a cast of characters who have no business saving the world may be our only hope."
