"The Good Doctor" Calls It Quits: ABC Retires Series After 7 Seasons
ABC has announced that the upcoming seventh season of "The Good Doctor" will be its last, marking the end of the popular hospital drama starring Freddie Highmore as Dr. Shaun Murphy. The series, which premiered in 2017, has been a consistent performer for ABC but will conclude its run after the upcoming season. The decision to end the show was met with gratitude from the cast and crew, with Highmore expressing his immense privilege in playing Dr. Shaun Murphy. Despite its popularity, the series has never been nominated for an Emmy, and a potential spinoff titled "The Good Lawyer" did not make it to the air.
