If you’ve been missing the quirky charm and outlandish adventures of The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, there’s good news: Season 2 is officially on its way and will be hitting our screens in 2025! Prime Video’s sci-fi medical comedy, created by Cirocco Dunlap, has quickly become a fan favorite, blending absurd alien hijinks with surprisingly relatable explorations of mental health. Let’s dive into what’s next for this animated gem.
A Quick Refresher on the Show
Set in the year 14002, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy follows two alien surgeons, Dr. Klak and Dr. Sleech, as they navigate the chaos of running a hospital in deep space. But this isn’t just your typical slapstick cartoon—it’s also an honest, thoughtful take on mental health and the pressures of modern (or futuristic!) life. With its mix of heartfelt storytelling and sharp humor, it’s no wonder fans can’t wait for more.
Season 2 Is Officially Happening
Prime Video isn’t wasting any time—The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy was renewed for Season 2 even before its first season premiered in February 2024. The show’s creators originally planned for a 16-episode season but decided to split it into two eight-episode installments. Season 1 ended on a high note, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
What’s more, production on Season 2 has been underway for quite a while—since 2020, to be exact. Rumor has it the series is now in post-production, meaning the new episodes are just around the corner. Given how long animation takes (12–18 months), 2025 seems like a safe bet for the release date.
What’s Coming in Season 2?
Season 1 focused on Dr. Klak’s anxiety struggles, her complicated relationship with her mother, and her eventual redemption arc. But Season 2 will shine a spotlight on her partner-in-crime, Dr. Sleech.
According to showrunner Cirocco Dunlap, this season will peel back the layers of Sleech’s backstory, exploring her vulnerabilities and the challenges she’s been quietly hiding. While Klak’s story revolved around her battle with anxiety, Sleech’s journey will explore another side of mental health—one that feels just as real, messy, and human (even if she’s an alien).
Expect more galaxy-sized stakes, new guest characters, and plenty of the show’s signature humor. And yes, the hospital’s reputation is bound to be tested yet again!
Who’s Coming Back?
The voice cast for Season 2 is packed with talent, and we’re thrilled to see everyone returning. Here’s the lineup:
- Stephanie Hsu as Dr. Sleech
- Keke Palmer as Dr. Klak
- Natasha Lyonne as Nurse Tup
- Kieran Culkin as Dr. Plowp
- Maya Rudolph as Dr. Vlam
- Andrew Dismukes as Matt
- Gary Anthony Williams as Flork 1
- Lennon Parham as Flork 2
- Sam Smith as Dr. Azel
On top of the returning favorites, fans can also look forward to new characters—both colleagues and patients—joining the chaos in Season 2.
A Bright Future for the Series
While only two seasons are confirmed so far, creator Cirocco Dunlap isn’t shy about her plans for the show’s future. She’s already thinking about how the story could evolve across multiple seasons, diving into different characters’ lives and tackling new themes.
Season 2 is said to continue building on the show’s thoughtful approach to anxiety and mental health, offering fresh perspectives while keeping the humor and heart fans have come to love.
When Can We Watch Season 2?
Although Prime Video hasn’t shared an official release date, all signs point to a 2025 premiere. With production well underway and the team already looking ahead to potential future seasons, the galaxy’s second-best hospital will be open for business before we know it.
Whether you’re here for the laugh-out-loud moments, the clever sci-fi twists, or the show’s honest look at life’s struggles, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy promises to deliver all that and more in Season 2. Until then, rewatch Season 1 and get ready to be transported back to 14002!
