With the way things ended for Lim at the end of Season 5, we’re ready for The Good Doctor Season 6 already. When is the Season 6 premiere going to air?
The Good Doctor Season 5 finale was supposed to be a happy episode. We finally got to see Shaun and Lea tie the knot. Sadly, there was trouble at the reception, but it was for Dr. Lim, who is now fighting for her life.
We need to know what’s going to happen. Are we going to see the doctors save one of their own in The Good Doctor Season 6 premiere? Sadly, we don’t get to know just yet. The new episodes will not air this month.
That’s not too surprising. We don’t usually see the big shows air new episodes in the summer. Only The CW opted for this to happen the last couple of years due to the pandemic. ABC has kept things as normal as possible. The summer is a bad time of year for the live ratings, so the networks wait until the fall for new seasons.
The Good Doctor Season 6 premiere date on ABC
ABC has set the premiere dates. We have a bit of a wait for The Good Doctor Season 6. It’s not going to premiere until Monday, Oct. 3.
It’s not all that clear why we have to wait until October. It’s not the only big show we need to wait for. Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 also won’t air new episodes until October this year. It could all be linked to some planned filming delays in the summer if the actors want to return to work a little later than normal due to a difficult last couple of years.
The Good Doctor Season 6 will premiere on Monday, Oct. 3 at 10/9c on ABC. Catch up on the series on Hulu.
THE GOOD DOCTOR - "Breakdown" - Dr. Shaun Murphy is desperate to join the team on a dangerous procedure involving a patient's tumor removal. However, having been removed from the surgery team by Dr. Jackson Han (guest star Daniel Dae Kim), Shaun must use his talents to help figure out the cause of an infant's injuries on "The Good Doctor," MONDAY, MARCH 4 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.

A new season of The Good Doctor is coming this fall to ABC, but unfortunately, The Good Doctor season 6 won’t be coming to ABC in September 2022.
This September, ABC is taking a more unusual approach to its fall TV premiere plans — at least when compared to other broadcast networks. While most networks are looking to launch their new fall seasons the week of Sept. 19 with a premiere week filled with the returns of hit series and launches of new originals, ABC will instead be pacing itself a bit by rolling out its fall premieres across a few weeks.
While returning favorites such as Abbott Elementary, The Conners and Big Sky will be kicking off their new seasons in September, ABC will be holding several of its hit series for October including the likes of The Good Doctor, Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy.
The Good Doctor season 6 premiere date
This year, ABC will look to kick off its Monday night programming block on Monday, Oct. 3 with a night of premieres including the season 6 premiere of The Good Doctor at 10/9c! That’s right, the new season of ABC’s hit medical drama will begin the first Monday of October in what promises to be quite the night of programming for ABC!
