The Good Doctor is returning for its seventh and final season on a new night. Beginning Tuesday, February 20, The Good Doctor will now air on Tuesdays at 10/9c instead of Mondays. When the ABC medical drama returns, viewers will watch Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) adjust to life as a new father to baby Steve, who Lea (Paige Spara) gave birth to in the Season 6 finale.
Moment: I am Grandpa – The Good Doctor
The Good Doctor follows Dr. Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a young autistic surgeon with savant syndrome who works in the surgical department of a prestigious hospital. Shaun’s differences have helped improve operations at San Jose’s St. Bonaventure Hospital, and he’s grown alongside his fellow doctors. Shaun and his wife, Lea (Spara), became parents last season, and The Good Doctor Season 7 premiere is all about babies.
In the episode, Shaun and Lea adjust to parenthood as they discuss the importance of a schedule and routine for Steve. In the photos from The Good Doctor season 7 premiere below, Shaun and Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff) are still not on speaking terms. It will be difficult for Shaun and Lea to live without Glassman's support as they adjust to life with a newborn.
Meanwhile, Shaun takes on his first case back at the hospital with two baby patients who need the same heart. As seen in the trailer, one of those babies is Eden, the adopted daughter of Dr. Morgan Reznick (Fiona Gubelmann) and Dr. Alex Park (Will Yun Lee). Photos below reveal that the other baby is named Jack. His parents are played by guest stars Shinelle Azoroh and Donald Heng.
