Adult Swim Renews ‘Children’s Hospital’

Adult Swim has greenlit a seventh season of its hit live-action comedy Childrens Hospital, the network said Tuesday.

The series, executively produced by Rob Corddry, follows the antics of a group of doctors working in a children’s hospital, said network officials.

“I'm happy,” said Corddry in a statement. “After our season six cliff hanger, people will be dying for us to turn our backs on the notion of series continuity even more.”
