Back to the OR! The Good Doctor‘s new cast members for Season 7 includes two new doctors who are sure to bring the drama (and save some lives) in the series’ final season. (One MD has an unexpected connection with Shaun!)

The Good Doctor is ABC’s medical drama following Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon from the small city of Casper, Wyoming, who relocates to San Jose, California, to work at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. ABC announced in January 2024 that The Good Doctor, which premiered in 2017, would end with its seventh and final season premiering on February 20, 2024.

“Playing Dr. Shaun Murphy has been an immense privilege and one of the most remarkable and rewarding experiences of my life,” Freddie Highmore, who plays Shaun and is also an executive producer on the series, said in a statement at the time. “I will always be grateful to David, Liz, and Erin as well as the hugely talented — and lovely — cast, writers, and crew who made this show possible. Caring deeply is what got us here. Thank you to Sony and ABC, and to everyone who has watched along at home. With love from Vancouver … tequila, stat!”

News of The Good Doctor‘s cancellation also came after the exit of two cast members: Hill Harper, who played Dr. Marcus Andrews from Seasons 1 to 6, and Brandon Larracuente, who played Dr. Daniel “Danny” Perez, in Season 6. Harper, who was one of the few remaining original cast members on The Good Doctor, left the series to focus on his run for the United States Senate.

“Hill Harper feels strongly that there is a crisis in American democracy — too often, government only works for the rich and powerful while the rest of us struggle to find a voice,” a representative for Harper told TV Line in November 2023. “Hill is dedicating his efforts full time to fixing that, and he’s running for the U.S. Senate as an active union member to give working people more of a voice in Congress.”

So who are the new Good Doctor cast members replacing Harper and Larracuente in Season 7? Read on for what we know about the new Good Doctor cast for Season 7 and the doctors joining Bonaventure for the series’ final season.
