Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Good Doctor for season three? I am concerned about the ratings but, unless they totally tank, I think The Good Doctor will be renewed. ABC needs new drama series and this one seems ripe to replace How to Get Away with Murder as their low-rated, quality program. For now, I believe it will be renewed. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Good Doctor cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are you happy that The Good Doctor TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Please renew this excellent show (The Good Doctor). My husband and I both enjoy this show very much. Goes to show you that both sexes like the story/show. So that is really two requests from us for renewal. Sometimes we feel as though there are very few good shows on. This counts up there on top. Keep up the good work! Please.
they better not cancel The Good Doctor. I have a autistic brother who is SO inspired by the show and he would literally cry if it would be canceled.
ABC has a Record of Cancelling Good Shows.
Absolutely love The Good Doctor, Superb acting and story lines
I just watched the Good Doctor on HULU. I absolutely loved the show. I binge watched it after Christmas and again after New Years. You have to keep it on now that I found it. I love the characters, the story line and I’m a nurse so they do a good job of keeping the stories realistic enough better than a lot of medical shows. I vote yes, yes, YES!!! PLEASE.
Please keep this show!!! Its such a cliff hanger! And such an amazing show!!! Im addicted
Please please keep The Good Doctor!! Not only is the storyline fantastic but and and every one of the actors our fabulous as well. More advertisement may be in order to boost ratings, have actors/actresses appear on morning news/talk programming. I feel it would be a huge mistake to not renew such a show as this.
The cast is fantastic and the stories are great, please continue to inspire us with new episodes!
Love the whole cast and the stories, please keep inspiring us with new episodes!
ABC should NOT cancel one of the few shows worth watching!! Keep The Good Doctor!!!!
Absolutely love this show the Good Doctor. I would be so disappointed if the third season was cancelled.
I love this show! It’s in my top three faves! I’ll be genuinely disappointed if it’s cancelled.
I love The Good Doctor. I bought the first season DVD set. The second season has been just as good, if not better. I love the development of the characters, especially Shaun. I hope ABC renews the show for many more seasons.
Love this show and haven’t missed an episode. I hope this show continues.
The Good Doctor is a favorite in our house. We would not miss an episode for anything.
Love the show & also never missed an episode! Great addition to the show was the terrific actress Paige Spara!! She plays the roll as his roommate fantastically. LUV HER
