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 a great season ending episode! Credit to the writers for coming up with this plot.
Glad the Han character was fired, and Shaun back as surgeon, as well as Glassman finding happiness.
Love, love the show!! Please keep it going!!
this is a great drama on so many levels. At a time when humanity, tolerance and intelligence are needed, The Good Doctor delivers all this and more with each episode. Thank you to the entire cast for a worthwhile experience. And thank you to the network for renewing a most exceptional show.
I think it a great show. But it could help if the good doctor get back to the ER. It could help DVDS sales. If they waited any longer it could hurt sales. Not viwers people will still watch it. But if he not in the ER next episode DVDS won’t sale until $5.00 instead of $10.50.
I love this show. Freddie does an excellant job. I cry so much for him. Please keep show going.
This the best show on television right now. We love it! Please do not cancel it.
This is a great, compelling show. It would be a tragedy to take something so uplifting off the air in this day and age. Please renew.

The good doctor is a great show. Original and genuine- not easy with all those shows about doctors. A good mix of personal and medical themes. The actors have a good potential to get deeper. Freddie Highmore is really convincing and inspiring.
Love this show
This is the only program that I consistently watch after my off duty as a nurse. I love the show.
I love this program. Please renew
This show is great and it has a lot of room to grow. Sure hope it doesn’t get cancelled. On the other hand, if the CDC doesn’t get there soon, all of your characters will be dead. And Shaun is on the floor immobilized by the sound of an overhead light, which is a little less than plausible, given the heroic actions he is capable of. Anyway, I’m sure the writers could sort it out. Bring in the heavy-hitter epidemiologists and vaccinate everyone. Voila! Problem solved.
Why is it that when a good show is on someone comes up with the stupid idea of cancelling it.
We (family) enjoy this show, great Actors/Actresses and writing.
Here is hoping this show does not get cancelled and another war/crime ridden show comes on.
