The Good Doctor has just secured an early renewal at ABC. The Freddie Highmore-led series joins fellow medical drama Grey’s Anatomy which also scored an early renewal as well.
ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke had this to say about the renewal:
“The Good Doctor has been a cornerstone on Monday nights and is one of those special, heartfelt series that fearlessly tackles inclusivity. David Shore’s thoughtful storytelling, combined with an incredible cast led by Freddie Highmore’s nuanced performance as Dr. Shaun Murphy, are what have made this series a breakout hit over the past three seasons, and I’m excited to see where they take us next.”
The Good Doctor is ABC’s most-watched show after factoring in 35 days of viewing. It averages 15.6 million total viewers, up more than 6.4 million viewers from its same-day returns. In the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demo, The Good Doctor jumps 175 percent from its same-day return after 35 days of viewing. The series has been a constant for Monday night’s at 10:00 PM for its first three seasons, a timeslot where the network once struggled.
