Composer Matt Novack Scoring Netflix’s Upcoming Comedy Series 'Medical Police'

Composer Matt Novack will be scoring Netflix’s latest half-hour comedy series Medical Police. Some of Novack’s previous credits include LD Entertainment’s Dog Days, Fullscreen’s Filthy Preppy Teen$, Adult Swim’s NTSF:SD:SUV and the Youtube Original documentary State of Pride.  He is most known for his score to Adult Swim’s long running hit series, Childrens Hospital.

Medical Police follows two American physicians stationed at a pediatric hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, who discover a civilization-threatening virus. They are then recruited as government agents in a race against time and around the world to find a cure and uncover a dark conspiracy. The series is considered a spin-off of the Emmy-winning Adult Swim series Childrens Hospital. The show is being produced by Childrens Hospital executive producers Rob Corddry, Jonathan Stern and David Wain and co-executive producer Krister Johnson.

Novack says, “I’m excited to return to a world that I had spent seven seasons in with this sequel / spin-off to Childrens Hospital.  Collaborating with this team again has been a joy, and I’m very proud of the score.  It’s something a little different than people are used to hearing from me.”

Medical Police will be premiering on Netflix January 10, 2020. The series stars Erinn Hayes, Rob Huebel, Sarayu Blue, Malin Akerman, Ken Marino, and Lake Bell. Guest stars also include Jason Schwartzman and Fred Melamed among others.
