Season 4 of The Good Doctor is back at 9pm Tuesday February 2. This premiered in the US in November.

Episode 1: Frontline Part 1.
Dr. Shaun Murphy treats a patient with an illness that is not only unpredictable in nature, but also unlike anything he or the team at San Jose St. Bonaventure has ever seen before. As safety protocols and quarantines increase due to the global pandemic, Lea and Shaun’s new relationship will become tested; and Dr. Alex Park gets ready to move back to Phoenix, Arizona, to be closer to his family. Meanwhile, Dr. Morgan Reznick navigates her way around the clinic following her departure from the surgery team and unknowingly puts herself and several members of the staff in danger. Finally, Dr. Claire Brown continues to work through her grief, still reeling from the sudden death of Dr. Neil Melendez.

It will be followed by Season 4 of The Resident at 10pm. It premiered in the US earlier this month.

Episode 1: A Wedding, A Funeral
