The Good Doctor season 7 cast
The Good Doctor is led by Freddie Highmore’s performance as Dr. Shaun Murphy, but throughout its run it has been an ensemble series, focusing on the lives of many of the doctors that Shaun works with at the hospital.
So filling out the rest of the hospital staff are Richard Schiff’s Dr. Glassman, Fiona Gublemann’s Dr. Reznick, Will Yun Lee’s Dr. Park, Christina Chang’s Dr. Lim, Paige Spara’s Lea, Bria Henderson’s Dr. Allen, Noah Galvin’s Dr. Wolke and Chuku Modu’s Dr. Kalu, who returned after time away from the show in season 6, are going to round out the series regulars for The Good Doctor season 7.
Brandon Larracuente, who played Dr. Daniel Perez in The Good Doctor season 6, is not returning as a series regular for season 7, though Deadline reports he could still occasionally appear as a guest star. Larracuente fans will be happy to hear that the actor has already lined up a new TV show, On Call, which is going to stream on Prime Video.
