Good Doctor: fans of the medical series will have to deal with some bad news!

While the Good Doctor series is a hit on TF1, a special episode was supposed to introduce a new character to that of “The Good Lawyer” but the plans have probably changed…

A disappointment for fans of “Good Doctor”: No Spin-off in sight

Hopes dashed for “The Good Lawyer”

Previously, in a drive for narrative diversification, the popular series “Good Doctor” had expressed the idea of ​​expanding its universe with a spin-off production called “The Good Lawyer”. The initiative was presented to the public through a chapter of the main series designed as a preamble to this possible new opus.

This specific episode aimed to introduce a new figurehead, Joni DeGroodt, and its legal professional context.

Joni, blessed with a unique character due to her mental illnesses, aspired to practice as a lawyer.

Unfortunately, this attempt to expand the story around Doctor Shaun Murphy is destroyed. The American television channel ABC, responsible for broadcasting the original series, has decided not to continue the development of this spin-off series.

An abortive rise for promising players

• Kennedy McMann : The rising star was slated for the breakthrough role of Joni in “The Good Lawyer.”
• Felicity Huffman : The actress, well known for her notable role in “Desperate Housewives”, was destined to make her comeback in the television sphere by taking on the character of Janet, Joni’s mentor.
• Bethlehem Million : She would have played the character of Abbie, Joni’s sister.

This news is certainly a blow to fans who have been waiting to see these new and established actors come to life in this expanded “Good Doctor” universe.

Despite Everything, a Coming Soon for “Good Doctor”

All is not lost, however, for fans of the original medical series. Despite the cancellation of “The Good Lawyer” project and recent upheaval in the film industry due to major strikes in Hollywood, “Good Doctor” extends its lease with confirmation of a seventh season.

Spectators will be able to console themselves with the continuation of the adventures of Dr. Shaun Murphy scheduled for a return around the year 2024.
