Adult Swim renews Childrens Hospital for a seventh season
There aren’t many TV networks where a show-within-a-show about a doctor in murder-clown makeup and his deranged, continuity-hating cohorts could rise to the status of respected elder statesman. But there is such a network, Adult Swim, and Childrens Hospital that dignified exercise in sustained madness. The network announced today that it was renewing Rob Corddry, Jonathan Stern, and David Wain’s opus for a seventh season, ensuring that the tales of Drs. Blake Downs, Owen Maestro, Catholomule Black, and the rest of the staff of the titular institution—not to mention the equally bizarre, drama-prone cast of fake actors who portray them—would continue for another year.
