There are so many different reasons to love Fall. From the thrill of football season to series (and season) premieres, the kick-off of chilly weather brings fun days. Fox, among many other networks, is gearing up to show football games and spoil fans with various television shows. For those patiently waiting for the sophomore season of Fox's hit medical drama, Doc, the wait is over, as the show will premiere its new season on September 23, 2025. It shares a premiere date with Murder in a Small Town, with various game shows also taking over the network.

Doc follows Dr. Amy Larsen, played by Molly Parker, the chief of internal medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis, as she aims to build a new life after a life-altering car accident. Larsen had a traumatic brain injury following a car accident that caused her to lose her memory. The doctor cannot remember anything that...

Fox has set the premiere date for the second season of the hit medical series, Doc — Season 2 debuts on the small screen on Tuesday, September 23 at 9 p.m. Et, after the season premiere of the drama series Murder in a Small Town at 8 p.m. Et. The season finds Molly Parker's Dr. Amy Larsen trying to rebuild her life after her life-changing accident. "No longer Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital, Amy 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," the season's official logline reads.

Season 2 will also introduce viewers to a new face, Dr. Joan Ridley, played by Felicity Huffman. She is Amy's med school...

Fox's smash-hit medical drama, Doc, has set its return date for Season 2, and it's coming back even bigger than the first. Season 1 premiered to instant success on the network, becoming its most-watched series in more than five years with over 16 million viewers tuning in for the season premiere. This led to a swift Season 2 renewal, which came ahead of the penultimate episode. Given these reasons, it's not surprising to see that Fox is doubling down on the series; where Season 1 included 10 episodes, a new report from the network reveals that the upcoming sophomore season will include a whopping 22 episodes. A new teaser trailer for the new season has also been released.

What sets Doc apart from other medical dramas is that it’s inspired by the remarkable true story of Pierdante Piccioni, an Italian doctor who, after a tragic accident in 2013, lost 12 years of his memory. The story was first...

“Doc” is gearing up to return for Season 2 this fall, with Felicity Huffman joining the staff alongside Molly Parker and the gang.

The Fox medical drama will return for its 22-episode Season 2 on Tuesday, Sept. 23 and welcome Huffman as Dr. Joan Ridley, former med school professor of Dr. Amy Larsen (Parker.) A trailer for the upcoming season teased Joan’s debut, saying with a stern voice that “every path comes with a price.” Perhaps the most shocking moment of the teaser comes at the end, when Amy shares at least one bit of her memory may be coming back.

Watch the clip below:

Season 2 follows as Amy continues to rebuild her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory.

Fox's breakout medical drama, Doc, adds an acclaimed actor to its emergency room for its anticipated second season. The series welcomes Emmy Award-winning star Felicity Huffman on board for Season 2, currently in development.

Per Deadline, Huffman has joined the Doc cast, where she will portray Dr. Joan Ridley, an internal medicine and surgery specialist known for her witty, nonconfrontational style. A self-described "old-school broad" who likes a bit of whiskey and a smoke now and again, Joan is a medical professional who never raises her voice and is a charmer around her colleagues, but possesses a fierce ambition. Joan was also an early mentor and med school professor for the show's central character, Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker), maintaining a good yet honest relationship. After being offered the Chief of Internal Medicine job at Minneapolis' Westside Hospital, succeeding Dr. Richard Miller (Scott Wolf), Joan shows that while she's there to help Amy and the staff,...

Days before Fox’s hit medical drama Doc ended its first run on Tuesday, March 18, it was renewed for a second season, which still has no premiere date. Even without one yet, fans can expect several changes to be made to the series, some of which have already been revealed, including the recent promotion of two cast members to series regulars. Another major update, as announced by Fox on Tuesday, June 10, is the addition of Felicity Huffman to Season 2 in a role hugely connected to Amy Larsen (Molly Parker).

In Doc’s sophomore season, Huffman will portray Dr. Joan Ridley, Amy’s med school professor and early mentor, per TV Insider. She is also the new Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital.

Felicity Huffman has joined “Doc” Season 2 at Fox.

Huffman will appear in the series regular role of Dr. Joan Ridley, described as “Amy Larsen’s (Molly Parker) med school professor and early mentor – and the new Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital.”

Along with Parker and Huffman, Season 2 of “Doc” stars Omar Metwally, Jon Ecker, Amirah Vann, Anya Banerjee, Patrick Walker, and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim.

The role marks a return to Fox for Huffman, who recently guest starred in the broadcast network’s anthology drama “Accused.” She is best known for her starring role in the ABC drama “Desperate Housewives,” for which she received two Emmy nominations. Huffman has also been nominated for three Emmys for her role in ABC’s “American Crime.” Her other recent TV credits include “The Good Doctor” and “Criminal Minds: Evolution.” In 2006, Huffman was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress for her work in “Transamerica.

Dochas added an Emmy-winning Desperate Housewives star to the cast, with Felicity Huffman boarding the Fox medical drama. Debuting back in January, the story centers on Dr. Amy Larsen (played by House of Cards star Molly Parker) and what happens when she suffers a brain injury that causes her to lose years of memories. The premise proved to be a quick success, with viewership surging more than 600% in just a matter of days, paving the way for Doc season 2.

Deadlineconfirms that Huffman has joined Doc season 2 as a main cast member. She'll play Dr. Joan Ridley, who is double-boarded in internal medicine and surgery. The character description reveals that Ridley is the kind of doctor who never has to raise her voice. It's noted, as well, that Ridley is charming and charismatic, but her wicked sense of humor masks her ambition.

What Huffman's Addition Means For Doc Season 2 She'll Add A Layer Of Drama

Dr.

Exclusive: Fox’s breakout Doc, starring Molly Parker, is getting a high-profile new cast addition for Season 2. Felicity Huffman has been tapped as a series regular on the medical drama from Sony Pictures TV and Fox Entertainment Studios, which is set to return this fall. This marks only the third series regular role on an ongoing series for Huffman following her starring turns on ABC’s Sports Night and Desperate Housewives, the latter earning her an Emmy Award.

Huffman will play Dr. Joan Ridley. Double-boarded in internal medicine and surgery, she’s the kind of doctor who never has to raise her voice. Incredibly charming and charismatic with a wicked sense of humor that masks her ferocious ambition. She proudly describes herself as an “old-school broad.” She drinks whiskey, smokes the occasional Marlboro red, and treats herself to solo steak dinners. Joan was Dr. Amy Larsen’s (Parker) med school...

Fox’s freshman hit Doc has promoted Patrick Walker and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim from recurring players to series regulars for the drama’s second season, which begins filming this summer ahead of a fall launch on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Et/Pt. Their elevation accompanies the network’s rare 22-episode pickup, announced in February after the premiere drew more than 16 million cross-platform viewers—Fox’s largest debut in five years.

Walker returns as Dr. “Tj” Coleman, a first-year resident whose childhood in-flight medical emergency bound him to Dr. Amy Larsen, while Fountain-Jardim reprises Katie Hamda, Amy’s ambitious daughter now eyeing medical school. Showrunner Barbie Kligman said she “loves that relationship, that history, all of it,” promising deeper exploration of the pair’s dynamic as Amy continues to piece together the eight years erased by her traumatic brain injury.

Amy (Molly Parker) may have faced a demotion following the car accident that took eight years of her memory (including her medical knowledge), but Doc Season 2 is giving out promotions. Patrick Walker (Dr. Tj Coleman) and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim (Amy’s daughter Katie) have been upped to series regulars, TV Insider has learned. Season 2, airing this fall, will consist of 22 episodes (after the freshman run had 10). The Fox medical drama, inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, follows Amy, a doctor who, following a car accident, lost eight years of her memory. She’s had to rebuild her relationships with her ex-husband Michael (Omar Metwally), best friend Gina (Amirah Vann), new boyfriend Jake (Jon Ecker), colleagues Sonya (Anya Banerjee), Richard (Scott Wolf), and Tj, and daughter Katie, as well as mourn the death of her son all over again, grapple with who she became in the aftermath,...

A new series with a premise being billed as 24 meets House, has been ordered for the 2025-2026 season from Fox. The series, Memory of a Killer, has officially been ordered, in an announcement from President of Fox Television Network, Michael Thorn. He says, “Memory of a Killer is a propulsive series with a noisy, unrelenting character hook that immediately grabbed our attention." He goes on to explain, “In the spirit of 24 and House, we’re introducing a daring new signature Fox lead, a complicated antihero facing unimaginable danger. We’re excited to bring this gripping new thriller to life alongside our long-standing partners at Warner Bros.”

The series is based on a 2003 Belgian film, De Zaak Alzheimer (La Memoire Du Tueur). Memory of a Killer will follow a hitman that develops Alzheimer's. According to the synopsis, the series will follow Angelo Ledda, who leads a double life as...

June is struggling sharing the spotlight with Luke and Moira on The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 4, but not because she wants it all to herself.

Instead, she’s rattled that they kept their plans from her for so long and concerned they may not fully understand what they’re getting themselves into by staging a multi-pronged attack.

But June will have to open her arms and let them in.

(Disney/Steve Wilkie)

Luke has taken control of a plan of attack that includes bombing a comms tower, an ammunition warehouse, and a federal building.

It’s changed him. His whole demeanor changed, from his posture to the cadence of his voice. Sure, he’s a different man than the one we met during The Handmaid’s Tale Season 1, but he’s even more significantly changed than the man who welcomed June to Canada in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4.

Is Jamie growing on us? Maybe so, yes, and he and Margaret working through some of their issues is a solid development of the hour. But, of course, it’s the Sir reveal that’s particularly engrossing.

Apparently, there’s no rest for the wicked indeed, as Found opens with quite a shocking scene: someone mysterious waking Sir up out of his sleep and carting him away!

Excuse me, where are they going with my emotionally unhinged baddie? After a prison brawl and ass-kicking, he needs some rest.

Why do the Feds have Sir?

Just when it feels like we’ve resolved one mystery or arc, Found Season 2 Episode 19 introduces another one, as the lingering question after the hour is what deal did Sir strike to get whisked away to the cushier confinements of federal prison?

On the plus, while Jamie had a rough introduction, he’s slowly becoming an endearing addition to the team.

I have to be honest with you guys: if not for the fact that I literally had a full Found Season 2 Episode 19 Recap I wrote to keep up with the hour, I wouldn’t have remembered anything about this case otherwise.

We had two siblings, one of whom was dying, at odds with each other over whether or not their father was alive. Larissa Dias Martin starred as Allison,...

At this point, it’s our own fault for being so surprised every time NCIS: Origins delivers another incredible episode. The series is not wasting a bit of potential from its stable of fantastic characters.

For one, what seemed like a series of coincidental episodes has become a full-blown strategy of character-centric stories. My God, does it work.

NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 16, “Bugs,” was a perfect mixture of lighthearted humor, thrilling mystery, and gripping emotional drama.

(Robert Voets/CBS)

All that was missing were a few jump scares and a romantic moment to have run the entire gamut of broadcast TV genres.

Not for nothing, but was anyone else surprised by the amount of casual comedy on this episode?

Why was everyone eating so much? You know those actors have to take a bite every time they re-do the scene, right?

When Paradise Season 1 Episode 1 unveiled an intricate mystery about who murdered Cal Bradford, I had some significant concerns about whether the series could keep up the pace.

Thankfully, Paradise Season 1 Episode 2 expanded the world and the lore to give answers about why this last-chance safe haven exists, and more importantly, who’s pulling the strings.

Julianne Nicholson has been on our screens for the better part of two decades, and she’s turning in awards-worthy work as the tantalizing Sinatra.

(Hulu/Screenshot)

It was evident from the beginning that Sinatra would be a pivotal player on Paradise. Still, I didn’t expect to learn her backstory and how her tenacity to make her late son’s idea of heaven became the setting for the entire series.

Sinatra has this icy-cold exterior and doesn’t allow many people into her life, which makes sense given what she’s been through.

“Killer Instinct” delivered one of the most chaotic cases of the season, blending serial killers, encrypted hitmen, and a side of marital tension served up over Coq au Vin.

NCIS Season 22 Episode 17 threw the team — and viewers — into a tangled web of poetic murders, government conspiracies, and simmering distrust.

It did it all while giving McGee a personal stake that finally pushed him out of the shadows and back into the spotlight.

I cannot think of the last television character I felt instantly attached to quite like The Pitt‘s Jack Abbot.

It doesn’t hurt that one of my all-time favorite actors, Shawn Hatosy, portrays him, but truthfully, it’s so much more than that.

As someone who profoundly enjoys character-driven stories or just vibrant characters, The Pitt expertly does something that many series struggle to do even when they have the time to do it: they nail the execution of multifaceted television characters.

(Warrick Page/Max)

What’s remarkable about this series is that even guest stars, those characters who barely have screen time, have such rich characterization and gravitas that they linger in your mind.

On most shows, background characters and extras are just that: placeholders and fillers rounding out a scene, warm bodies to create a larger arc, or focus on a more pronounced character.

In most series,...

By now, the Doc withdrawals have set in as the buzzworthy first season wrapped, and we’re left waiting until the fall before we can see our favorite characters again.

Of course, some of our favorite characters were worse off than others by the season’s conclusion, one of whom was Doc’s Golden Boy and all-around stellar person, Jake Heller.

The Doc Season 1 Finale left fans reeling, but anyone who has followed Jon-Michael Ecker’s prolific career knows that whether he’s expertly playing complex baddies or wholesome good guys, one thing remains consistent: his characters are often unlucky in love.

Whether he’s a guest star, recurring, or main, Ecker has a knack for playing guys who end up on the wrong side of a love triangle or engage in complicated romances that don’t always pan out.

While procedurals are on every network, The Hunting Party strived to be different by including overall mystery arcs and weekly serial killers.

It intrigued viewers immediately how these dangerous inmates escaped the Pit, the Pit’s actual purpose, and why their treatments typically worsened the inmates’ killing spree.

The Hunting Party Season 1 had many things working for it, including fantastic team dynamics. However, it only had average ratings and ended on an emotional cliffhanger, so we’re praying it gets renewed for a second season.

(David Astorga/NBC)

Let’s rank and review its best and least satisfying moments.

Best Character: Bex Henderson

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that we voted Bex Henderson the Mvp of The Hunting Party. While Hassani and Ag Mallory brought her in in some ways, Bex was the heart of the team.

She understood how to approach the victims’ families and how to profile these killers.

Future TV reboots should take a page out of Matlock’s book.

The reimagined version of the 1980s classic Andy Griffith vehicle is one of the biggest hits of the 2024-2025 season.

One of its selling points is that it’s not a true reboot, but there’s far more to what makes it a success than that — and writers of other potential remakes and reimaginings could learn a lot from it.

(Sonja Flemming/CBS) Matlock Is Much More Than That Premiere Twist

Matlock Season 1 Episode 1 set the Internet ablaze with its big reveal that Madeline Matlock wasn’t a relative of Ben Matlock — she was a fan who took his name because she was on a mission.

Alison Sweeney and Carson Boatman are fantastic actors, and Sami’s explanation for 30+ years of bad behavior was as emotional as logical.

Technically, Rafe is single, and as far as we know, so is Sami.

Well, looks who is back on Fire Country. I knew the third season wouldn’t waste a talent like Constance Zimmer. These writers are really pulling out all the stops to elevate this show.

And kudos to the hands behind the series for keeping things consistent. It really seemed like the show was going to fall back on old habits a few times throughout “Fire and Ice.”

I have to hand it to Fire Country Season 3 Episode 17. The arguments and drama felt real and not forced. The episodic case’s plotting was genius and possibly had an unexpected effect on some viewers.

The bottom line is that this has been the best season of Fire Country, and, ironically, I hope whatever spark lit a fire under the writers never dies down.

Good grief, Shawn Hatosy has to be the hardest-working man in television right now.

When Ghosts returns, there will be major story developments for everyone’s favorite sarcastic, pizza-smelling, hopeless romantic ghost, Sasappis.

Lucky for us, as the series winds down its season, we will see much more from Sass, something that Zaragoza is extremely excited about.

We know that Doc will be back for a second season on Fox — and with 22 episodes! — but when it returns, it has a major relationship to fix. And no, we’re not talking about any part of the love triangle. Sure, there’s the matter of what will happen for Amy (Molly Parker) when it comes to her ex-husband Michael (Omar Metwally) and new love Jake (Jon Ecker) — when she woke without eight years of memories following a car accident, she didn’t know she was divorced and had moved on — but we’re more concerned about her friendship with Gina (Amirah Vann), which was left in a rocky place.

Doc wrapped up its first season on March 18, ending with the surprise departure of Scott Wolf’s Dr. Richard Miller. However, recent interviews indicate that the Season 1 finale may not be the last that fans have seen of Scott Wolf’s Dr. Richard Miller.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Doc creator and executive producer Barbie Kligman revealed, "Here’s what I’ll say. We love Scott and we love the way he’s played Richard. So I don’t think this is the last we’ll be seeing of him. But I’m not giving you more."

Sharing a similar sentiment, Wolf told TV Insider, "The show is very much about redemption and second chances. So I believe Richard has a second life."

The Season 1 Finale Holds Richard Miller Accountable

Dr. Richard Miller's departure was inevitable after his actions came to light. Not only was his negligence responsible for...

Doc concluded its first season on a high note for Fox.

The finale of the freshman medical drama, which aired Tuesday, secured 2.4M total live + same-day viewers, per Nielsen, marking a 9% increase from the series premiere. In the 18-49 demo, the finale skyrocketed 56% over the premiere to a 0.28 L+Sd rating.

The demo success is particularly noteworthy, since its the strongest 18-49 growth for any major broadcast network scripted series, drama or new show, over the course of its premiere season since Fox’s Empire in 2015.

Averaging 2.3M live + same-day viewers and a 0.24 18-49 demo rating over the course of the first season, Doc is Fox’s highest-rated and most-watched new drama this season. Ultimately, episodes have swelled to an average of around 7.2M multi-platform viewers, more than tripling the L+Sd audience.

Doc has been quite the success story for Fox. Amid a swath of new medical dramas on broadcast,...

Doc star details season 2's filming window as season 1 wraps up with its final episode on March 18. The Fox medical drama, based on the real-life story of Doctor Pierdante Piccioni, follows Dr. Amy Larsen's (Molly Parker) journey as she's offered a second chance after major memory loss from a car accident. In February, Fox renewed the show for a second season and announced that it would contain 22 episodes.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Jon Ecker, who plays Dr. Jake Heller in the series, talks about the potential filming window for the upcoming season. While it hasn't been made official yet, the star shares that he's under the impression that Doc is expected to return "in the fall," which puts the production start date "sometime in the summer." Check out what he said below:

I don't have an official thing, but I think it's going to be sometime in the summer.

Doc star Jon-Michael Ecker has opened up on season 1's cliffhanger ending and what this means for his character moving forward. Based on the Italian series Doc – Nelle tue mani, follows Amy Larsen, a chief of medicine who struggles to resume her medical career after a brain injury causes severe memory loss. The Fox medical drama debuted in January 2025, and Doc season 2 has already been renewed. One of the prominent plot points of the season 1 finale saw Scott Wolf's Dr. Richard Miller suspended for his cover-up of a medical error Amy had been investigating.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Ecker gave his views on the Doc season 1 finale's cliffhanger ending, claiming that the writers did a great job, and praising co-star Wolf's portrayal of Richard. He discussed the juxtaposition between Richard's underhanded behavior and prickly personality, and his desire to save his career and family, calling it a great bait and switch.

There isn’t a single Doc Fanatic who isn’t reeling after that pulse-pounding and emotional season finale.

If you tuned into the final moments of Doc Season 1 Episode 10, you’ll know that fan-favorite Jake Heller faced the ultimate blow after witnessing the woman he loves with her ex.

It was a shocking, devastating development for someone who is inarguably the most beloved and sweetest character in the series thus far.

We know the cliffhanger left viewers in shambles, prompting more discourse among passionate fans deeply invested in who should win Amy’s heart.

We had the absolute pleasure of catching up with the man who stole our hearts as Jake himself, Jon-Michael Ecker, to speak about Jake’s emotional state, Doc’s success, what he hopes for in season two, and, of course, the beautiful but complex Jake/Amy romance.

Congratulations, of course,...

Less than twenty-four hours ago, Fox’s enthralling medical series Doc wrapped its first season with that banging finale that saw Jake (Jon Ecker) spotting Amy (Molly Parker) and Michael (Omar Metwally) together through the office door of the Chief Medical Officer. Naturally, fans are eager for what comes next for this trio, and very soon, their curiosities will be satisfied with the show already renewed for another run.Not to mention, TV Insider recently sat down with executive producer Barbie Kligman, who teased that the new season of Doc will explore Amy’s complicated love life.

The Fox drama that’s based on an Italian format wrapped its first season Tuesday with a pair of cliffhangers involving Amy (Molly Parker) and Richard (Scott Wolf).

Amy confronts Richard over the mystery surrounding the death of his patient Bill Dixon.. Richard is finally held accountable for his actions and is fired at the end of the finale.

Meanwhile, Jake (Jon-Michael Ecker) sees Amy and her ex-husband Michael (Omar Metwally) in an embrace and is left wondering about the future of their romance.

Here, Executive Producers Hank Steinberg and Barbie Kligman talk about whether we’ve seen the last of Wolf and what to expect from the series going...

Admit it; we’ll be reeling from that season finale for a long time.

If there’s one word worth using to describe Doc Season 1 Episode 10, it’s “exhilarating.”

From the action-packed medical angle to the high emotions at every conceivable turn, Doc left it all on the floor with that season finale.

It’s a relief that we know the series will return with a full sophomore season because there is far too much worth unpacking for all of these characters, not just Amy.

Doc knew they’d leave us clamoring for more after that season finale, and now the idea of waiting until Fall for the series’ return feels unbearable.

We’ve repeatedly discussed how this is a different type of medical drama. It’s not traditional in the least, making it compelling...

What’s up, Doc? Because frankly, Amy, you have us a bit scared.

In the Season 1 finale of Fox’s already-renewed freshman medical drama, the good news is that Dr. Richard Miller (played by Scott Wolf) was exposed as 1) having made the error that killed patient Bill Dixon and 2) gaslighting colleague Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker) into thinking she had been at fault.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Doc” Episode 10.

“Doc” wrapped up its first season with confidence and chaos, leaving fans with a big cliffhanger for the future of the Amy, Michael and Jake love triangle.

Episode 10 of the Fox medical drama followed the aftermath of Amy (Molly Parker) and Michael’s (Omar Metwally) big kiss, as a train derailment also brought an avalanche of new patients into the ER. Amy also uncovered how Richard (Scott Wolf) lied about her being involved in the death of a patient, when she learned it was actually Richard who made a mistake during a code blue and ended up killing someone. The truth leads to Richard getting fired as chief and the hospital settling with the patient’s wife, but not before Amy cleared her name with the board and promised to consider taking the chief job again “in a few years.”

The kicker...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “…Must Come Down,” the Season 1 finale of Fox’s “Doc.”

Molly Parker never expected to lead a project that she considers as mainstream as a network procedural. In her 30 years in the business, the Canadian actor has tended to gravitate toward the margins, making a name for herself as an indie darling and a strong supporting player in the early years of prestige TV.

But in spring 2023, just days before the writers went on strike in Hollywood, Parker took a meeting with “Doc” executive producers Barbie Kligman and Hank Steinberg about headlining their new gender-flipped Fox adaptation of a popular Italian medical drama. At the time, Parker could not bear the thought of spending time away from her teenage son — who was then going into his junior year in high school in Los Angeles — in order to shoot a months-long project in Toronto.

Dr. Jake Heller has been a hero in the Fox medical drama Doc, whether it's saving the lives of patients or standing by his girlfriend Dr. Amy Larsen. But that might be about to change in the Season 1 finale -- because Jake doesn't know that Amy was kissing her ex-husband. And as a massive emergency hits Westside Hospital, it's a terrible time for him to find that out.

In an interview with Cbr, actor Jon Ecker teased how Episode 9's closing scene may affect Jake's feelings toward both Amy and Dr. Michael Hamda, who also happens to be Jake's boss. He also spoke about where the dynamic between Jake and Dr. Sonya Maitra might go, and what he wants to uncover about Dr. Jake Heller as a person. Plus, learn about his favorite moments from Doc Season 1 so far.

The following contains major spoilers from Doc Season 1, Episode 9, "What Goes Up...," which debuted Tuesday, March 11 on Fox.

Doc Season 1, Episode 9, "What Goes Up..." is on track to be the Fox show's best episode -- until the final few minutes remind viewers of the series' previous shortcomings. The two cases of the week are interesting and well-cast, and the actors do some solid work. But then the script just chooses drama for drama's sake, and it all falls apart.

"What Goes Up..." primarily follows Dr. Amy Larsen on her first day as an actual doctor, since she passed the medical boards again in Season 1, Episode 8, "Man Plans." Amy discovers that her first patient is Tj Coleman's father, while viewers learn the role that Amy played in Tj's past.

The most recent episode of Fox’s Doc was titled, “What Goes Up….”

The already-renewed medical drama’s season finale, airing Tuesday at 9/8c, is titled, “…Must Come Down.” Hmm. That, combined with the exclusive sneak peek above, frankly has me more than a bit worried that Dr. Amy Larsen (played by Molly Parker) is at risk of her former, icier self bleeding through as she deals with the whammy of a whopper told by rival Dr. Richard Miller (Scott Wolf).

Fox’s Doc episode nine was titled “What Goes Up…” so it’s only natural that episode 10, the season finale, is called “…Must Come Down.” Season one will wrap up on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 9pm Et/Pt. On February 26, Fox announced the series will return for season two.

Molly Parker plays Chief of Internal Medicine Dr. Amy Larsen, Omar Metwally is Dr. Michael Hamda, Amirah Vann is Dr. Gina Walker, Jon Ecker is Dr. Jake Heller, and Anya Banerjee is Dr. Sonya Maitra. Season one guest stars include Scott Wolf as Dr. Richard Miller and Patrick Walker as Dr. Tj Coleman.

“…Must Come Down” Plot: A mass casualty event requires all hands on deck at Westside Hospital. Amidst the chaos, Gina deals with a devastating revelation, and Amy’s forced to confront her demons.
