After a winter break, the medical drama Doc is set to return with Season 2 Episode 10 on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. The show will continue in its regular time slot at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Fox, picking up the story from the fall finale that left fans on edge.
What to Expect in the Winter Premiere
The fall finale, which aired in late November, placed the hospital staff in challenging situations and heavily incorporated the COVID-19 pandemic into its storyline. The upcoming Episode 10 will continue directly from where that episode concluded. The series follows Dr. Amy Larsen, a powerhouse physician working to rebuild her medical career after a car accident erased eight years of her memory. She is no longer the Chief of Internal Medicine and must navigate her new role as an intern while confronting hard truths about the years she lost.
This season has a much larger scope than the first, with an order of over 20 episodes compared to the initial season’s 10 episodes. The winter premiere will address ongoing character growth and new medical cases, balancing personal drama with the high-stakes environment of the hospital.
Where to Watch New Episodes
For those who miss the live broadcast, new episodes of Doc are available to stream on Hulu the day after they air on Fox. This provides a flexible option for viewers to stay current with the series. After the special Sunday premiere in September, the show returned to its regular Tuesday night slot, where it is paired with a new medical comedy, establishing a consistent medical programming block for the network.
If you need to catch up on the first season, it is available for streaming on Netflix.
Returning Cast and New Additions
The ensemble cast remains strong for the winter premiere. The main cast includes:
- Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen
- Omar Metwally as Dr. Michael Hamda, Amy’s ex-husband
- Jon Ecker as Dr. Jake Heller
- Amirah Vann as Dr. Gina Walker
- Anya Banerjee as Dr. Sonya Maitra
For its second season, Charlotte Fountain-Jardim and Patrick Walker were promoted to series regulars, playing Amy’s daughter, Katie Hamda, and Dr. Theodore “TJ” Coleman, respectively. The season also introduced Felicity Huffman in the role of Dr. Joan Ridley, Amy’s former mentor and the new Chief of Internal Medicine. Additionally, Scott Wolf is expected to return as Dr. Richard Miller in the second half of the season, with his reappearance tied to the ongoing storyline involving the new intern, Hannah, who has a contentious past with Amy.
Show Success and Ongoing Storylines
Doc has found a solid audience on Fox and streaming platforms, leading to a quick renewal for a larger second season. The series is inspired by a true story and is based on the globally acclaimed Italian series. Production for the extensive 22-episode season began in June and is scheduled to continue through early next year, filming in Toronto to maintain consistent quality throughout the winter and spring months.
The series continues to explore the emotional fallout from Amy’s memory loss, affecting her relationships with her ex-husband, her daughter, and her colleagues. A complicated love triangle between Jake, Amy, and Michael adds further tension to her journey of reconciliation and recovery.
