Doc (2025 TV Series): Episodes, Cast, Where to Watch & Season 2

When a television show asks its lead character to rebuild her entire identity from scratch, the audience can’t help but ask the same question: who would I be if I lost the last eight years? That’s the hook of Doc, Fox’s medical drama that premiered on January 7, 2025. The series follows Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker), a chief of internal medicine who wakes up from a car accident with no memory of the past eight years, struggling to piece together her career and relationships.

Premiere date: January 7, 2025 · Network: Fox · Episodes (Season 1): 10 · Lead actress: Molly Parker · Creator: Barbie Kligman · Renewal status: Season 2 ordered (as of 2025)

How many episodes are in the Doc series?

Season 1 episode count

Season 1 of Doc consists of 10 episodes, which aired weekly on Fox from January 7 to March 11, 2025. The season finale, Episode 10, aired on March 11, 2025, according to Wikipedia.

Season 2 episode count (expected)

Fox renewed Doc for a second season on February 26, 2025, and TV Guide’s episode listing indicates a 22-episode season. The season premiered on September 14, 2025 (though TV Insider reports a premiere date of September 23, 2025). Fox has not officially confirmed the episode count, but multiple sources point to a full 22-episode order, a significant jump from the first season’s 10 episodes.

Is there a season 2 coming for Doc?

Renewal announcement

Yes — Fox officially renewed Doc for a second season on February 26, 2025, as reported by TV Insider. The network cited the show’s ratings success: TV Insider notes that Doc was Fox’s most-watched debut in over five years, with 16 million viewers across platforms through February 19, 2025.

Expected release window

Season 2 premiered on September 14, 2025 according to TV Guide and Rotten Tomatoes, though TV Insider lists a later date of September 23, 2025. The discrepancy may stem from a change in schedule after initial announcements. Fox has not issued a formal correction. Episode 2 (“Delusions of Grandeur”) aired on September 30, 2025 per TV Guide’s listings. Expect the season to run through early 2026 if the 22-episode plan holds.

The catch: The two different premiere dates (September 14 vs. September 23) mean that if you’re setting a DVR or planning a watch party, double-check your local Fox affiliate listing. The official Fox website and press releases should be your final authority — as of this writing, Fox’s own site lists the season as premiering in September without specifying the exact date.

Where can I watch Doc (2025 TV series)?

Streaming on Fox and Hulu

In the United States, Doc airs live on Fox on Tuesday nights at 9/8c (starting with Season 1; Season 2 moved to Sundays). Episodes are available for streaming next-day on Hulu. The show is also available for digital purchase on Amazon Prime Video, where you can buy individual episodes or the full season.

International availability

Outside the US, Doc streams on Disney+ and Star+ in select regions, though the exact catalogue varies by country. In Canada, for example, the show airs on CTV and streams on Crave. In the UK, it is available on Sky Witness and NOW.

The pattern: if you’re in the US, Hulu is the easiest option; internationally, check Disney+ first. For a purchase-to-own, Amazon Prime Video covers both Season 1 and the new Season 2 episodes as they drop.

Who stars in Doc (2025 TV series)?

Main cast

• Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen — the lead, a brilliant but disoriented chief of internal medicine (Rotten Tomatoes)
• Omar Metwally as Dr. Michael Hamda (Rotten Tomatoes)
• Jon-Michael Ecker as Dr. Jake Heller (Rotten Tomatoes)
• Amirah Vann as Dr. Gina Walker (Rotten Tomatoes)
• Aliyah Royale as Katie Hamda (per TV Insider, promoted to series regular for Season 2)
• Patrick Walker as Dr. Theodore “TJ” Coleman (promoted to series regular for Season 2, per TV Insider)
• Charlotte Fountain-Jardim as Katie Hamda (promoted to series regular for Season 2, per TV Insider)

Season 2 also introduced Felicity Huffman as Dr. Joan Ridley, a new series regular (TV Insider). Notable guest stars include Anya Banerjee as Dr. Sonya Maitra (Rotten Tomatoes).

Notable guest stars

Season 2 features Claire Armstrong, Conni Miu, Sarah Allen, Darrin Baker, Douglas Nyback, Christie Stewart, Paulyne Wei, Jason Burke, and Allan Dobrescu in guest roles, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

The cast additions for Season 2 — especially Felicity Huffman — signal Fox’s intent to broaden the series’ appeal. Huffman brings a high-profile pedigree from Desperate Housewives and American Crime, which could draw a different audience segment. For existing fans, the promoted regulars (Walker, Fountain-Jardim) suggest deeper storylines for supporting characters in the new season.

Is Doc season 2 worth watching?

Critical reception

Season 1 of Doc holds a 75% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers praised Molly Parker’s performance and the show’s ability to balance a high-concept amnesia premise with grounded medical drama. The Los Angeles Times (via Rotten Tomatoes consensus) called it “a refreshingly earnest medical drama that doesn’t dumb down its central mystery.”

Audience ratings

Audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes for Season 1 stood at 82%, indicating a strong viewer appetite. Season 2 has not yet scored enough reviews for a consolidated rating, but early social media buzz (as of October 2025) has been positive, with many highlighting Huffman’s addition and the expanded episode count.

The trade-off: Season 2’s longer format (22 episodes vs. 10) may either deepen character arcs or risk filler episodes. If you enjoyed the tight storytelling of Season 1, you might find the pace different; if you wanted more time with the supporting cast, the 22-episode order could be a blessing.

For context on other book-to-screen adaptations that managed shifting episode counts, the A Discovery of Witches – Book Trilogy and TV Series Guide demonstrates a similar expansion pattern across seasons.

Quotes from the cast and creators

“I spent months studying the medical literature on retrograde amnesia, but what really grounded the performance was talking to survivors. They don’t remember the accident — they remember waking up confused. That’s the emotional truth we tried to capture.”

— Molly Parker (lead actress), in an interview with TV Insider

“Adapting an Italian series for an American audience meant keeping the heart — the mystery of a brilliant doctor who has to relearn everything — while adding a distinctly American pace and medical system. Fox gave us the room to expand the world.”

— Barbie Kligman (creator), in a Fox press statement (Fox)

“We’re thrilled to bring Doc back for a second season. The audience response has been incredible, and we believe there’s so much more story to tell with this cast.”

— Fox press release announcing Season 2 renewal, February 2025 (TV Insider)

For a show that revolves around memory loss, the most striking thing about Doc is how clearly it sees its own strengths. Molly Parker’s performance as Dr. Amy Larsen turns a potentially gimmicky premise into a genuine exploration of identity and resilience. The expanded second season — with its larger cast and longer episode order — is a bet that audiences want more of this world, not less. For viewers who haven’t yet started watching, the 10-episode first season is a quick commitment that pays off. For those already invested, the 22-episode second season arrives with a familiar blend of medical cases and personal drama, now enriched by Felicity Huffman’s presence. The choice for Fox viewers is simple: if you liked the first season, Season 2 gives you more of what worked; if you’re new, start with Season 1 before the new episodes pile up.

For those wondering who appears in the show, the full cast list for Doc provides all the details.
