WHAT'S BEEN MISSING FROM THE genre landscape? How about a horny, female-centric, adult animated series featuring hardcore SF storylines and Grey's Anatomy-esque personal dramas, with a surreal aesthetic that's somewhere between Scavengers Reign and The Fifth Element? If that sounds like your kind of weird, get ready to check into Prime Video's The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy.
Created by writer Cirocco Dunlap (Russian Doll), The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy is essentially a mash-up of the real-life topics and influential shows rattling around inside her noggin. "I love sci-fi and anything with weird genre stuff," Dunlap tells Red Alert. "And I love comedy and animation. I thought this seems like a really fun place to put a whole lot of ideas that are pretty disparate into a world where they can all live."
Originally pitching it in 2019, Dunlap developed an animated comedy, set in 14002, at an intergalactic hospital where renowned surgeons Dr Sleech (Stephanie Hsu) and Dr Klak (Keke Palmer) save the lives of myriad aliens in very unconventional ways. The show intentionally throws audiences into a high concept world where there are no humans, and the species featured have bizarre biology and inherent abilities. It's deep end sci-fi, yet the personal problems facing the doctor/besties are entirely relatable.
