If you’re a fan of THE GOOD DOCTOR, the freshman drama series starring Freddie Highmore, then you can breath a little bit easier because today ABC announced that they have renewed the show for a second season.
“THE GOOD DOCTOR’s message of inclusiveness resonates with our viewers and is a hallmark of what we aim to accomplish here at ABC,” said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment. “This series has quickly joined the zeitgeist and broken records in the competitive television landscape. We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Shaun Murphy will be back for another season.”
THE GOOD DOCTOR has been a hit for ABC. It has been ABC’s most watched freshman series in 13 years and “is delivering triple-digit year-over-year time period increases to Monday’s 10 o’clock hour for ABC in Total Viewers (+172%) and Adults 18-49 (+162%),” the network says.
