‘Doc’ Renewed for Season 2!!

Fox has given Doc an early Season 2 renewal as the newest medical drama has emerged as one of the network’s most-watched programs for 2025. With only two episodes left to air for the nine-episode Season 1, the series — developed by Barbie Kligman — has not only been renewed for Season 2 but has received a total of 22 episodes, according to TVLine. The announcement, of course, comes as exciting news for Doc, given that most programs in the new era of television (on both streaming and broadcast) have only had fewer than 20 episodes.

Doc has been bringing in millions of viewers since its premiere in January, with its premiere episode averaging a total of more than 16 million viewers. The freshman medical drama has even become Fox’s most-watched series debut in more than five years, besting the record 9-1-1: Lone Star once held back in 2020. In a statement (via TVLine), Fox network president Michael Thorn said that renewing Doc for a second season “was an easy decision,” thanks in large part to the creatives behind the show as well as its “exceptional cast.”

‘Doc’ Is a Well-Received New Medical Drama for Fox

While critics were less generous with the show’s first-ever season with only a 44% Rotten Tomatoes critic score as of this writing, the show has undoubtedly caught the attention of viewers with an impressive 75% audience score so far. Led by House of Cards, Deadwood, and Lost in Space star Molly Parker, Doc, and based on the Italian drama Doc: Nelle tue mani, follows Parker’s Dr. Amy Larsen, who, after a life-threatening car accident, suffers a traumatic brain injury that causes her to lose her memories of the past eight years of her life. This includes her divorce from her husband and her son’s tragic death. She then struggles to begin a new life and continue her medical career at the fictional Westside Hospital after all the devastating events in her life that she can’t even remember.

In addition to Parker as attending physician Amy Larsen, Doc also boasts an ensemble cast of Big Sky’s Omar Metwally as chief medical officer Michael Hamda, The Watchful Eye’s Jon Ecker as chief resident Jake Heller, How To Get Away With Murder’s Amirah Vann as neuropsychiatrist Gina Walker, The Blacklist’s Anya Banerjee as third-year resident Sonya Maitra, Party of Five’s Scott Wolf as acting chief of internal medicine Richard Miller, and Initiation’s Patrick Walker as first-year resident Theodore “TJ” Coleman.

Other details about Doc Season 2, including the release date, remain under wraps. The series airs Tuesdays on Fox. Previous episodes are available to stream on Hulu in the US.
