Fox’s debuting medical dramaDochas already made quite a splash during its first season so far, and now the show has been renewed for season 2. Based on the Italian seriesNelle tue mani, the series concerns Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker) who is the chief of internal medicine for a hospital. A car accident causes Dr. Larsen to lose her memory of the previous eight years, and she tries to resume her work while also rebuilding her relationships. The over-the-top concept, mixed with the show’s grounded interpersonal conflicts, makesDoca unique addition to the medical drama genre.
Though early reviews of the show have called it “maudlin” (viaUSA Today), it’s clear from the outset that Fox struck gold withDoc. While initially failing to crack aRotten Tomatoesscore above 50%, the series has delivered massive ratings for the network, and has managed to stand out in acrowded field of medical dramas. Shows likeDoctor Odyssey,Brilliant Minds,The Pitt, and the comedicSt. Denis Medicalall began during the 2024-2025 season, butDochas trumped them in the ratings. Naturally, this inspired Fox to give the series a swift season 2 renewal.
