What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Good Doctor stars Freddie Highmore, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Chuku Modu, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Tamlyn Tomita, and Richard Schiff. The medical drama comes from from House creator David Shore and Lost vet Daniel Dae Kim and is based on a South Korean series of the same name.
The Good Doctor centers on Dr. Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a new surgical resident with autism and savant syndrome. His incredible memory and keen ability to perceive spatial relations inform Shaun’s gifted comprehension of his patients. Meanwhile, his autism can hinder his ability to communicate with others. With only the help of his advocate, Dr. Aaron Glassman (Schiff), Shaun must challenge the skepticism and prejudices of the hospital’s board and medical staff, in order to do his job and save lives.

Telly’s Take
Will The Good Doctor be cancelled or renewed for season two on ABC? It premiered with very healthy ratings, was picked up for a full season, and a thriving drama is just what the doctor ordered for the Alphabet Network. As long as the ratings don’t drop that much, my gut says it will easily score a renewal. For now, I will keep an eye on the Nielsens and will update this page with breaking developments, as well as any change in this show’s prognosis.

I LOVE THIS SHOW THERE NEEDS TO BE A SECOND SEASON!!!!!!!!
Accurate or not does not matter. It is a drama not a documentary. As a drama it is entertaining, well acted and produced. The Lead actor Freddie performance is excellent. He also has something that makes you love to watch. Best show on TV. Many of us want much more and I was so glad to see the network in Australia advertising season two commencing January 2018
my wife an I never miss this show, hope you renew it
my wife and I never miss this show. freddi highmore is an excellent actor
I love this show, after watching the first season it cannot end like that we need a season 2
IT HAS TO STAY ON! This show isn’t amazing and is not like no other medical show (except the Korean one the show the US bases it off of) I love it a lot!
Definitely renew. Wholesome and entertaining! Love it !
Please give us season 2 of the good doctor
This show is amazingly well done. So great to see a show embracing a diverse range of characters including those on the autism spectrum and using prime time drama to fight harmful stigmas about these conditions. Please don’t cancel this series, people are watching and happy to see it breaking down boundaries and giving people things to think about.
I really enjoy the show. Freddie Highmore is a perfect cast for the role! The rest of the cast is super, as well!
Please continue with season 2. This is my favorite show. I can’t watch it at the broadcast time but also always DVR and watch when I get home. It’s always a discussion with co-workers the next day.
