Doctor Shaun Murphy is not about to give up his coat and will be on the attack for new operations. Since its debut in 2017, the flagship series of the American audiovisual group ABC has won over viewers and currently has 5 seasons. While the fifth season of The Good Doctor has just ended, it has already been confirmed that the series has been renewed for a sixth season.
If you want to know more about season 6 of The Good Doctor, then read the rest of the article.
The release date of season 6
On March 30, 2022, while the fifth season of The Good Doctor was still airing, it was announced that the series was being renewed. The American audiovisual group ABC reiterates its confidence in one of its best programs for a sixth adventure. And the channel is also planning some surprises for fans with this new season.
It should be noted that the filming of season 5 only ended in April and the broadcast just ended on May 17. And since it was still very fresh and therefore, it was unlikely to imagine at this time a release date for a season 6 whose filming had not yet started. However, the American channel ABC already announced that season 6 will debut on Monday, October 3.

The Good Doctor trailer
As of now, apart from the fact that season 6 has been confirmed, there is no official trailer available. On the other hand, just like actor Freddie Highmore, we can’t wait to discover season 6.

The plot of season 6
As one can imagine, season 6 of The Good Doctor should continue the momentum of season 5. The dramatic events of the end of season 5 would be put back on the table. In addition, Dr. Marcus who holds the position of president will have the task of boosting the morale of the staff of Saint Bonaventure. This is the right time to tighten ties and that’s not all.

It should not be forgotten that the long-awaited marriage of Shaun and Léa has been interrupted. Suffice to say that this very important moment in Shaun’s life is not to be missed under any circumstances. And that should against all odds be seen in the sixth season. There is therefore enough for fans to be impatient to discover season 6 of their favorite American medical series.
The number of episodes for the new season

The plot of the series The Good Doctor
The Good Doctor is an American television series created by David Shore. However, you should know that the series is an adaptation of the very popular South Korean series of the same name. Broadcast since September 25, 2017 on the American channel ABC, the series follows the journey of young doctor Shaun Murphy.
A doctor like no other
Compared to other popular medical series, The Good Doctor series stands out with a different approach. Shaun Murphy, the protagonist of the story is an autistic scholar who aspires to become a doctor. Although Asperger’s syndrome endows him with extraordinary intelligence, the downside is a difficulty in managing his emotions and interacting in society.
For his reasons, those in charge of the prestigious Saint Bonaventure hospital do not see it very favorably that he becomes a surgeon. But that’s without counting on the help of his mentor, Doctor Aaron Glassman, who vouches for him. The latter is firmly determined to give him a chance and does not hesitate to put his position as general manager in the balance so that he is his chance.
A new environment
This is how Shaun is committed to the hospital of San José, Saint Bonaventure. Even if he shows exceptional analytical skills, it will take time for him to impose himself and break the stereotypes of some of his colleagues. And over time, he will have to accept the role of doctor goes well beyond the technical aspect. He will learn that social interactions and communication are to be taken into account.
And even if it’s not his favorite field, he’s going to have to get out of his little bubble. If you haven’t started The Good Doctor adventure yet, there’s still time to update. With 5 seasons available for a total of 94 episodes, you will have enough to spend a good evening sitting comfortably on your sofa. The series is broadcast in France on the TF1 channel and is also available on several streaming platforms. These include streaming platforms such as the popular Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu and the French platform Salto.
