We don’t have to wonder if The Good Doctor will be cancelled or renewed this time. ABC has already decided to end the show after seven years. Could The Good Doctor return for an eighth season or a reunion movie someday? Stay tuned.
A medical drama series, The Good Doctor TV show stars Freddie Highmore, Chuku Modu, Richard Schiff, Fiona Gubelmann, Will Yun Lee, Christina Chang, Paige Spara, Bria Samoné Henderson, and Noah Galvin. Recurring players include Giacomo Baessato, Kayla Cromer, and Wavyy Jonez. The series revolves around Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a young autistic savant who’s a surgeon at the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. He uses his extraordinary medical gifts to save lives.

Lea Dilallo (Spara) is Shaun’s wife and the mother of their baby son, Steve.
