The Good Doctor season 7 cast: Who is returning?

Freddie Highmore will be back as Dr Shaun Murphy.

He’ll be joined by a slew of returning actors, including Richard Schiff as Dr Aaron Glassman, Will Yun Lee as Dr Alex Park, Will Yun Lee as Dr Alex Park and Fiona Gubelmann as Dr Morgan Reznick.

Christina Chang will also be back as Dr Audrey Lim, while Paige Spara will return as Lea Dilallo-Murphy, Noah Galvin as Dr Asher Wolke and Bria Henderson as Dr Jordan Allen.

Meanwhile, original cast member Chuku Modu, who returned as a midway in season 6, has been promoted to a series regular on the medical drama, playing Dr Jared Kalu.

Some fan favourites won’t be returning for the upcoming instalment, however. Original Good Doctor cast member Will Harper has exited after opting to run for Senate.

While it was announced back in April 2023 that Danny Perez actor Brandon Larracuente would be leaving the show after season 6, he is excitingly set to return for one episode this season. Antonia Thomas will also be reprising her role for a couple of episodes this season as Dr Claire Brown.

Ruby Kelley (PUSH) has also joined in a recurring role, and Guillermo Diaz (Scandal) is set to appear in a guest spot.

The Good Doctor season 7 plot: What could happen?

After season 6 culminated in the birth of Shaun Murphy and Lea’s (Paige Spara) son, Steve Aaron Murphy, it looks like the upcoming instalment will follow Shaun as he transitions into the role of a father.

Alongside the news that the show will end with season 7, ABC released a farewell promo, containing highlights from the previous six seasons, as well as a look at one of the medical drama’s upcoming episodes.

In the scene, Shaun prepares to leave for work, and tells Lea and their newborn son that he’s going to miss them.

San Jose St Bonaventure Hospital will also be dealing with the sudden absence of Dr Perez, who left to seek treatment for his opioid addiction back home with his family in Texas, and Dr Andrews, who resigned as president of the hospital last season.

While Dr Perez is set to return for one episode, fans will have to keep their fingers crossed that he’s back on the road to recovery.

The Good Doctor season 7 also delivers quite the shock character death, so we’d expect the later episodes of the season to deal with the major fallout from that.

Is there a trailer for The Good Doctor season 7?

There is! It’s time to say goodbye to the gang as the final trailer for the final season was released a couple of weeks ago, marking the end of an era.
