TVNZ gets Check-Up from local producer

TVNZ in New Zealand has ordered a medical series hosted by three young doctors with a focus on “millennial medicine.”

The Check-Up comes from Seven Studios’ Great Southern Television and will premiere on free-to-air network TVNZ1 with an initial run of 10 episodes.

“We’re looking at health from the perspective of digitally native professional doctors. Their take is radically more progressive – and future-focused,” said executive producer Philip Smith.

“In the format, three smart young doctors conduct state-of-the-art experiments and scrutinise long-held beliefs before reaching their own conclusions. They are doctors who think, work and interact differently having been brought up in the age of digital technology.”

The new show comes after Auckland and Sydney-based Great Southern Television was acquired by Australia’s Seven Studios earlier this year.
