Fox Doubles Down on Its Medical Drama “Doc”

Fox is fully committing to its inaugural medical drama, Doc.

The network has officially renewed the series, featuring Molly Parker, for a second season. This renewal comes with a traditional, robust 22-episode order, reflecting a strong vote of confidence following impressive early ratings. Currently, Doc is averaging around 2.3 million same-day viewers, according to Nielsen, but its audience expands significantly with streaming on platforms like Hulu and other delayed viewing options. Fox reports that the pilot episode, which premiered on January 7, has attracted 16 million viewers across all platforms, including on-air repeats.

Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, Doc is helmed by showrunner Barbie Kligman, who serves as executive producer alongside Hank Steinberg and Erwin Stoff.

“We are thrilled that audiences have embraced season one of Doc,” stated Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network. “Barbie and Hank have done an outstanding job bringing one of the most emotionally powerful series on television to life. Renewing for a second season was an easy decision, thanks to this incredible team, our partners at Sony, and an exceptional cast, led by the talented Molly Parker.

Katherine Pope, President of Sony Pictures TV Studios, added, “We’re ecstatic that Doc has been picked up for a second season – a testament to the exceptional writing, captivating performances from our talented cast, and the incredible reception from audiences. We’re so grateful to our partners at Fox for their unwavering support as we continue making more episodes of this show.”

The 16 million viewers for Doc’s premiere, which includes six weeks of viewing, marks the highest cross-platform figure for a Fox series premiere (excluding post-NFL debuts) since 911: Lone Star in January 2020. Notably, the show’s same-day audience has seen growth in each of the past three weeks.

Alongside Parker, the regular cast features Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker, and Anya Banerjee, with Scott Wolf and Patrick Walker appearing in recurring roles.

Doc joins fellow Fox newcomers Murder in a Small Town and Universal Basic Guys in securing a second season at the network.
