Allison Tolman's new NBC sitcom St. Denis Medical has been renewed for a second season .

Tolman is a versatile actor who got her start in Chicago ’s theater scene.

The star has showcased her gift for deadpan comedy in the show's season finale.

She says she felt left behind by the prestige Fargo machine in the early 2010s .

After Fargo , Tolman found success as a scene-stealing recurring player on hits like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Good Girls.

She was not affected, at last, by comments on her actual work in Fargo .

Tolman 's first post-Fargo show, Downward Dog , was canceled after a season .

St. Denis Medical was picked up during the SAG-AFTRA strike; Tolman was a strike captain.

It was renewed for season two as devastating wildfires raged around Los Angeles this past winter .

For Tolman , there’s also relief at having a regular job at all.
