The Good Doctor fandom’s eagerness to learn how the story will progress has grown with each passing day, and it’s fair to say that after how the sixth season ended with such a surprising cliffhanger, which has once again raised many questions, it’s made the wait even more worthwhile! So, if you’re looking to stay up-to-date on the latest release date reports and the filming status, then you’ve come to the right place!
For your convenience, we have compiled everything we currently know about supposed delays in the release of The Good Doctor Season 7.
The Good Doctor Season 7: Is the upcoming season delayed?
According to reports, numerous ABC series scheduled for the 2023–24 television broadcasting season appear to be undergoing significant changes. The recently released fall schedule for the network hints that The Good Doctor Season 7 isn’t listed among other original series, which is quite surprising.
One of the primary causes of this is the ongoing writer’s strike, which has been going on for many weeks and has significantly slowed down the creation of new episodes until the problems with the writers’ compensation are resolved. Therefore, if it is not resolved sooner, there is a possibility that the series won’t return at all this year and will actually be set to make its official comeback in 2024, along with other series.
As a result, this can be a significant reason why the premiere may be delayed for a longer period of time. Some other reasons that are speculated for the delay are the creative differences among the show creators and crew, which will eventually decide the fate of the series in order to expand for additional seasons if it is renewed in the coming years.
The Good Doctor Season 7: When is it expected to premiere?
If you have been keeping up with the show, then you’ll know that it has a history of taking a break for a few months before premiering brand-new episodes. So, we are certain that the same will be applied to the seventh season, and we will take a brief seasonal break in order to perfect the schedule.
The filming is expected to commence sometime around August 2023 (if the writer’s strike concludes) in order to be ahead of schedule, and it is expected to release the new season sometime later in the fall of 2023 or even 2024 at the same time slot of 10 pm/9c, every Monday on the ABC network.
This can only happen if the production starts on schedule in the next few months and the network decides to roll out the series just like the prior season without unnecessary delays. In addition to this, we would like to point out that, at this point in time, this is just pure speculation!
Anything can be changed, and these details will be confirmed by the network. So, we urge the readers to be up-to-date with the official social media handles of the show. Until then, check out the official renewal announcement as shared on The Good Doctor’s Twitter handle, quoting, “Get your scrubs ready, as #TheGoodDoctor is coming back for a new season.” Take a look at the official post below:
