Doc has been given another dose—Fox has officially renewed the medical drama for a second season, consisting of 22 episodes. The renewal comes just weeks ahead of the Season 1 finale, which is set to air on March 18.
The series stars Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, a highly skilled and determined former chief of internal and family medicine who returns to work after suffering a brain injury that wipes out the past eight years of her memory.
The cast also includes Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker, and Anya Banerjee, while Scott Wolf and Patrick Walker appear in recurring guest roles.
Barbie Kligman serves as the showrunner for Doc, executive producing alongside Hank Steinberg and Erwin Stoff. The series is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment Studios.
Inspired by a true story, it is adapted from the Italian series Doc — Nelle tue mani, which was created and produced by Lux Vide, a Fremantle Company.
Doc airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
“We are thrilled that audiences have embraced Season 1 of Doc. Barbie and Hank have done an outstanding job bringing one of the most emotionally powerful series on television to life.
Renewing for a second season was an easy decision, thanks to this incredible team, our partners at Sony, and an exceptional cast, led by the talented Molly Parker,” Fox said in a statement.
Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, echoed the enthusiasm, stating, “We’re ecstatic Doc has been picked up for a second season – a testament to the exceptional writing, captivating performances from our talented cast, and the incredible reception from audiences.
We’re so grateful to our partners at Fox for their unwavering support as we continue making more episodes of this show!”
