No sophomore slump for Fox‘s "Doc".
After scoring a rare 22-episode Season 2 order with its breakout freshman run last year, the medical drama has done it again, landing a 22-episode Season 3 pickup. Barbie Kligman and Hank Steinberg will continue as co-showrunners.
Season-to-date, "Doc" is averaging 7.4M multi-platform viewers, Fox’s largest multi-platform audience for a 2025-26 scripted series, which nearly triples (+193%) the drama’s Live+Same Day delivery.
Speaking of L+SD performance, "Doc" recently hit a regular time period series high in total viewers (2.7M, 2/3/26).
“Doc has become a true breakout for Fox, delivering our largest scripted multi-platform audience of the season and building remarkable momentum across Fox, Hulu, Netflix, and internationally — earning it another 22-episode order,” said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network.
“That success is a testament to the exceptional creative leadership of Hank Steinberg and Barbie Kligman, our terrific partners at Sony, and the talented Molly Parker, whose deeply nuanced performance gives the series its soul.”
