The breakout drama will return for Season 2.
March 7, 2018
ABC announced today that The Good Doctor has been renewed for a second season. Since its premiere in the fall, the medical drama has gone on to become one of the breakout freshman entries of the 2017-2018 television season. Back in October, the show was the first new drama of the fall to earn a full-season pickup thanks to its strong start.
Airing Monday nights, the series has garnered acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. It regularly beats its 10:00pm competition, which is something that ABC has struggled with in years past with shows in that particular time slot. Viewership-wise, it ranks as the network's most-watched new series in over a decade, and star Freddie Highmore earned himself a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor last year.
The Good Doctor stars Highmore as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome who leaves his quiet, country life behind to join the surgical unit at a renowned hospital in San Jose, California. Alone in his new surroundings and not able to form a personal connection with his peers, Dr. Murphy puts his extraordinary medical gifts to use in order to save lives and challenge his skeptical colleagues.
Look for Season 2 of The Good Doctor this fall.

I am relieved The Good Doctor was renewed for another season. It's one of the few shows that I look forward to watching and can't wait for the next episode. The only thing the show needs to do is bring back Paige Spara (Lea).

The best new show of the 2017-18 season and my favorite show on TV other than Madame Secretary. ABC is becoming the hip CBS.

@Alisa M I thought this had no chance of getting renewed but I'm glad it did its a decent series it could probably do with a few more characters to freshen it up

I really am enjoying the series so far. That is why I am so surprised that ABC hasn't cancelled let alone renewed it. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy that it's renewed, but since I do like it I figured they would do away with it like they have so many others.
