A new season of The Doctors is coming soon but it will have a very different look. The thirteenth season of the syndicated series will premiere in September with a new studio, new format, and a new host.
Dr. Ian Smith is taking charge of the series and previous hosts Sonia Batra, Judy Ho, Nita Landry, Andrew Ordon, and Travis Stork will not be returning. This season will have the focus of helping people deal with the times we’re living in at the moment.
More about season 13 of the daytime series was revealed in a press release.
“The Emmy Award-winning series THE DOCTORS today announces it will debut a new format and host when it premieres its 13th season on September 21. Dr. Ian Smith, best-selling author and trusted medical expert, steps in as host as the series moves to a new state-of-the-art studio to deliver even more timely and reliable breaking medical news and trusted information.
THE DOCTORS will launch the theme “Take Your Power Back,” designed to empower viewers to break through the fear and uncertainty of current times. The season-long series will provide ongoing tips and solutions to get Americans into fighting shape physically, mentally and emotionally.
“This is an unprecedented time, and people are looking for the latest in updates delivered in an easy to understand format, and THE DOCTORS is the perfect place to help us all take control of our lives,” said Dr. Ian Smith. “Helping people learn how to be the best versions of themselves is a personal passion of mine, and I am excited to bring viewers unbiased information and facts, free of any political slant, to help them take their power back.”
“Trustworthy and straightforward medical news has never been more important.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Doctors? Will you watch the new season of this syndicated series next month? Will you miss the previous hosts?
I’d love to continue watching but have not been able to find. I’m living in the PNW and The Doctors use to be on ABC channel 4.
No, I won’t be watching the new show. I loved the old one. New one is very boring.
SO SORRY TO HEAR FORMAT CHANGING ON “THE DOCTORS!” LOVED OLD SHOW FORMAT AND HOSTS! WARM, INFORMATIVE AND SOMETIMES EVEN UPLIFTING! PLEASE RECONSIDER….OR I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE LOSING ALOT OF AUDIENCE…AT BEST, I AM LEANING THAT WAY…WHY MESS UP A GOOD THING? THANKS FOR LISTENING
the end of last season the doctoe from the old show was on and he is so great,,,,,,,,,the woman who was on it was so great,,,,,i will watch the show,, it will not be the same as the doctores but i like that kind of show and hope it is good….
i saw the doctores show when it started over 10 years ago i liked it so much
Andrew Orton is back on doctors❓
I love the Drs. The show brings such valuable information. I miss dr Travis. But I understand how important it is to choose your path. Dr Ian is a great host, & very uplifting. However those built in commercial for store brand products the show host started doing a couple seasons back & continue to do I find distasteful. But I understand the need for sponsors.
This show is terrible. Loved the old show.
Watched it for many years, but no longer. Extremely boring now.
I am so sorry to see a good show like the doctors go down the tube. It has become nothing but another commercial based program that continues to degrade the TV experience. Thank you but I will not be watching it in the future. I truly enjoyed the previous seasons that helped me understand some of my physical aliment and I found very intriguing.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL DOCTORS! I do not like the new format at all!
Why was it changed? The new format is so boring, it’s like watching the news. I have stopped watching it. If you bring back the other doctors, then I will definitely watch it again.
I have watched the new show and I don’t think it is anything like the other
No offense to the new personality but it is just not good
Bring back the old format! I hate this and I miss Dr. Ordon! Ian is boring (I’m sorry Ian!).
Sorry to say that I no longer like or watch the show. In this time of a pandemic, change from something familiar and good was not smart. Especially with so much being taken from us-many freedoms and government telling us how to live and what we’re allowed to do. I don’t know what you were thinking–if you were thinking. At least the sorry Va. governor Ralph Northam can’t force us to watch the ‘new Doctors’ show.
