Last season, the Doc series was FOX’s highest-rated new drama series. To no surprise, it was renewed for a second season with an order of 22 episodes. Will the show’s ratings rise or fall this time around? Will Doc be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A medical drama series, the Doc TV show stars Molly Parker, Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker, Anya Banerjee, Patrick Walker, Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, and Felicity Huffman, with Scott Wolf, Sarah Allen, and Emma Pfitzer recurring. In the story, Dr. Amy Larsen (Parker) is a brilliant Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a late-night car crash results in severe head trauma, Amy wakes up from surgery with no recollection of the past eight years. She learns that she and her beloved husband, Dr. Michael Hamda (Metwally) have been divorced for four years and her entire family is not at all as she remembers them. Amy’s best friend, neuropsychiatrist Dr. Gina Walker (Vann), is hopeful but does not know if Amy will ever recover her memories .In season two, Amy’s been relieved of her position and must restart her medical journey as an Intern in the hopes of becoming the doctor she once was. She’ll confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know. Dr. Joan Ridley (Huffman), Amy’s early mentor and med school professor, is now the hospital’s new Chief of Internal Medicine.
