Doc was Fox’s surprise hit of last season. Therefore, we have been waiting to find out what happens next for Dr. Amy Larsen, who lost eight years of her memory after suffering a head injury during a car crash.
This season, Amy will continue to 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. Determined to get her memory back and piece together who she really is, Amy’s goal is to become the doctor she used to be in those missing years and to eventually, once again, be Chief of Internal Medicine.
In the interim, her ex-husband/Westside Hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, DR. MICHAEL HAMDA (Omar Metwally), fills the position with Amy’s former mentor and friend, DR. JOAN RIDLEY (Felicity Huffman), whose motives and priorities remain hidden, just as long as Amy still can’t recall Joan’s life-changing secret. Amy’s best friend and colleague, DR. GINA WALKER (Amirah Vann), is weary of Joan’s motives and continues to be a beacon of support for those around her, while finally learning to put on her own oxygen mask first.
While re-learning eight years of medical advancements is complicated, it pales in comparison to learning to navigate her new/old/current romantic entanglements. Amy continues to fight her feelings and let Michael go, especially now with the birth of his son with his new wife, bringing up emotions for both Amy and their daughter, KATIE HAMDA (Charlotte Fountain-Jardim).
Amy’s on-again, off-again relationship with Chief Resident DR. JAKE HELLER (Jon Ecker) is a bit more delicate as he struggles to protect his heart from her this time around. However, DR. SONYA MAITRA (Anya Banerjee) would only be too glad to pick up the pieces, navigating the balance between her feelings for Jake and her complicated resentment towards Amy.
I have to admit, I have resentment towards the producers for casting Huffman. I am still not over the college admissions scandal. Just seeing her in the trailer makes me not want to watch. Do you feel like I do?
Have you been stressing about finding out when your shows will be back on Fox? Well, today, you are getting what the Doc ordered because the network has released their Fall schedule.
Just like ABC, their lineup is basically reality and competition shows and football, with only two days dedicated to scripted programming. It will be interesting to see if that strategy works.

To read about what we can expect this Fall, then click here!
Yesterday, Fox announced that Johnny Knoxville is going to host Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, the competition show that tests people’s fears. But that show will not debut until later.
However, we don’t have to wait until then to watch people get scared shitless. Fox already has The Snake. On yesterday’s episode, they had the contestants try to solve a puzzle with a partner. Sounds easy? It wasn’t because they were put in coffin-like compartments with hundreds of large cockroaches walking around their heads.
As soon as they said cockroach, I would’ve been like, I am out of here. But the 14 of them gave it a try.
How many made it until the end? You are going to have to tell me because I pressed stop. I can’t even watch it. Let alone would I ever consider attempting it. Would you do it? And how much would you need to do it?
It has been a month since the networks announced their plans for next season, so I thought they were done, minus Doctor Odyssey.
But I forgot about Alert: Missing Persons Unit and The Cleaning Lady. As did Fox. But today they remembered they had two series, so they made a decision about their futures. Neither drama will be back for their fourth and fifth seasons, respectively.
Believe it or not, there are still two more shows waiting to find out if they will be returning, and they are Accused and The Great North.
Fox announced their schedule for next season, and they are going to have a lot of problems in the Fall.
The network is heavy on Reality and Competition series, and their weaker animated shows (minus The Simpsons). I don’t know what they are thinking, but I am thinking I am happy I have their sister streamer, Tubi, to watch to make up for not watching Fox in the Fall.
