The Good Doctor Season 5 premiere date, cast, trailer, synopsis, and more
The Good Doctor Season 5 is officially happening at ABC. It’s great news for the fans, but what do we know about the season so far?
ABC renewed The Good Doctor for Season 5 on May 3, 2021. It was great news for fans of the series, and admittedly, it wasn’t all too surprising. The medical drama is one of the most popular scripted shows on ABC and continues to perform well on Monday nights.
The live ratings did take a dip between Seasons 3 and 4, but there are a few factors to consider. The 2020–2021 TV season has been unpredictable with ABC among the networks that tried to keep the fall as normal as possible despite the pandemic. That led to the show’s schedule being stop-start, leading to a drop in viewers.
Hopefully, things will be back on track for The Good Doctor Season 5. Here’s what we know about the season so far.
The Good Doctor Season 5 premiere date
ABC hasn’t set the fall schedule for 2021 yet, but it looks like the plan is for a 2021–2022 season that is as normal as possible. We’re sure to see The Good Doctor premiere in fall 2021 and likely in the last season of September.
This is going to depend on the pandemic and whether filming can go ahead as normal. It’s likely that filming will go ahead mostly as possible.
The Good Doctor Season 5 cast
We don’t yet know if everyone is going to stick around after the Season 4 finale, but there are some actors we’re expecting to see return. They are:
- Freddie Highmore as Dr. Shaun Murphy
- Antonia Thomas as Dr. Claire Browne
- Hill Harper as Dr. Marcus Andrews
- Richard Schiff as Dr. Aaron Glassman
- Will Yun Lee as Dr. Alex Park
- Fiona Gubelmann as Dr. Morgan Reznick
- Christina Chang as Dr. Audrey Lim
- Paige Spara as Lea Dilallo
We may also see some others join the cast, whether as series regulars or in recurring guest roles.
According to TVLine, Noah Galvin and Bria Samoné Henderson are promoted to series regular for The Good Doctor Season 5.
The Good Doctor Season 5 trailer
There isn’t a trailer for the fifth season just yet. That’s not surprising since filming hasn’t begun yet. We’ll be sure to bring the trailer when it drops, but it’s likely going to be during the late summer.
The Good Doctor Season 5 synopsis
Likewise, we don’t have a synopsis just yet. That’s likely going to arrive with the trailer. We will get an idea of what to expect based on how the fourth season ends.
The Good Doctor airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
