The Good Doctor is an American medical drama television series based on the 2013 award-winning South Korean series of the same name. Actor Daniel Dae Kim
noticed the original series and bought the rights for his production
company. He began adapting the series and in 2015 eventually shopped it
to CBS, his home network. CBS decided against creating a pilot. Because
Kim felt so strongly about the series, he bought back the rights from
CBS. Eventually, Sony Pictures Television and Kim worked out a deal and brought on David Shore, creator of the Fox medical drama House, to develop the series.[1]
The show is produced by Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios, in association with production companies Shore Z Productions, 3AD, and Entermedia. David Shore serves as showrunner and Daniel Dae Kim is an executive producer for the show.
The series stars Freddie Highmore as Shaun Murphy, a young autistic savant surgical resident at the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. Antonia Thomas, Hill Harper, Christina Chang, Richard Schiff, Will Yun Lee, Fiona Gubelmann, Paige Spara, and Tamlyn Tomita also star in the show. Nicholas Gonzalez, Chuku Modu, Beau Garrett, and Jasika Nicole used to also star in the show, but their characters were written off. The series received a put pilot commitment at ABC after a previous attempted series did not move forward at CBS Television Studios in 2015; The Good Doctor
was ordered to series in May 2017. On October 3, 2017, ABC picked up
the series for a full season of 18 episodes. The series is primarily
filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The series debuted on September 25, 2017. The Good Doctor
has received mixed reviews from critics, with particular praise given to
Highmore's performance, and strong television ratings but criticism for
the storylines while the portrayal of autism divided critics. In March
2018, ABC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on
September 24, 2018. In February 2019, ABC renewed the series for a third
season, which premiered on September 23, 2019. In February 2020, ABC
