The Good Doctor Is Returning For Season 3 on ABC
The Good Doctor is coming back for Season 3, according to the official announcement, which has been published by ABC on the show's official Twitter page on February 5, 2019. Needless to say that The Good Doctor has become a hit back in 2017, during its debut season premiere. However, it's worth noting that in its 2nd installment the medical drama has lost over a third of its target audience (-34.49%). No particular release date for the upcoming round has been announced so far.

The Good Doctor Summary
The story focuses on Shaun Murphy, a young aspiring surgeon with autism and savant syndrome. Having survived a troubled childhood in his hometown Casper, Wyoming, Murphy heads to San Jose, California, with the firm intention to work at the prestigious surgery unit in San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. His mentor, Dr. Aaron Glassman supports Murphy's purpose.
It's worth mentioning that because of his syndrome, Shaun isn't able to communicate with the outer world. However, his extraordinary medical skills allow Murphy to save lives. His medical intuition looks doubtful. Nonetheless, such natural gift gives him a chance to cool down the skepticism of his colleagues.
