The Good Doctor premiered in 2017 and is currently in its sixth season. The hit medical drama series continues to keep us on the edge of our seats, so we’re looking forward to its return to the small screen.
Here’s everything you need to know about Season 6 of The Good Doctor.
When Will the Good Doctor Be Released?
The Good Doctor returns on Monday, October 3, following Bachelor in Paradise on ABC. New episodes are broadcast at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
We’re waiting for confirmation on when The Good Doctor season 6 will be available in the UK, but previous seasons have been available on Sky TV/NOW TV.
What is the Good Doctor’s Plot?
The series’ official synopsis is as follows:
“Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, has worked tirelessly to demonstrate to his colleagues that his exceptional medical abilities will save lives. Season 5 finds Shaun navigating more uncertainties as a major change comes to St.
Bonaventure, all while planning a wedding. Meanwhile, the rest of the team must deal with the complexities of their own changing relationships while dealing with life-or-death situations.”
While the season 5 finale featured Shaun and Lea’s wedding, it also ended on a major cliffhanger, with Dalisay Villanueva and Dr. Audrey Lim both stabbed and lying on the floor as the season ended. One of the big early questions for season 6 is what will happen to these two long-time series regulars.
Who is the cast of The Good Doctor season 6?
The following series regulars are expected to return for season 6 of The Good Doctor:
Dr. Shaun Murphy is played by Freddie Highmore. Highmore previously won the Empire Award for Most Promising Newcomer, is a double SAG nominee, and has twice been named the world’s Best Young Actor by the Film Critics Association.

Dr. Aaron Glassman is played by Richard Schiff, who has previously appeared in Ballers, House of Lies, Clemency, The Affair, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The actor is best known for his role in The West Wing, for which he won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor and received three nominations.
Paige Spara plays the character Lea in the show. Spara’s breakthrough role is in The Good Doctor, though she has also appeared in Kevin from Work.
