Shaun and Lea’s honeymoon will have to wait when The Good Doctor returns for Season 6. TVLine has your exclusive first look at the Monday, Oct. 3 premiere (ABC, 10/9c), which picks up in the immediate aftermath of a
double stabbing. As fans will recall, the Season 5 finale took a shocking turn when Nurse Villanueva’s violent ex-boyfriend Owen snuck into St. Bonaventure, posing as a flower delivery man. Chief of surgery Dr. Audrey Lim (played since Season 1 by Christina Chang) found Villanueva, who’d been stabbed and left for dead, before she, too, was impaled.
“The first episode has a huge amount of intensity and fun, but it’s difficult because it’s the immediate fallout [from the finale],” executive producer David Shore previously told TVLine. “Lim’s journey is going to be a big part of it.”
As previously reported, the 22-episode Season 6 will feature the addition of two new residents: Brandon Larracuente (of Freeform’s Party of Five reboot) as Danny, a charming intern with an “interest in somewhat controversial alternative medicine,” and Savannah Welch (Titans‘ Barbara Gordon) as Danni, an Annapolis grad who completed med school in the Navy.
The Freddie Highmore medical drama is also plotting a midseason, backdoor pilot for legal offshoot The Good Lawyer.

The sixth season of The Good Doctor was ordered on March 30, 2022 by ABC[2]. It premiered on October 3, 2022.[3]
