Update: The Good Doctor gets 10 p.m. slot on ABC Mondays this Fall.
Sometimes being different makes all the difference. 
ABC greenlit the filmed-in-Vancouver pilot The Good Doctor to series today. What’s it about? Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore from Bates Motel) is a young, autistic medical savant who’s up for a job as surgeon at the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. Not surprisingly, Murphy is brilliant at medicine but not great at relating to people. But he uses his extraordinary skills to save people and overcome the skepticism of his colleagues.
Colleagues: Antonia Thomas as Dr. Claire Brown, Nicholas Gonzalez as Dr. Neal Melendez, Chuku Modu as Dr. Jared Kalu, Irene Keng as Dr. Sarah Chen, Beau Garrett as Jessica Preston, Hill Harper as Dr. Marcus Andrews and Richard Schiff as Dr. Aaron Glassman. The American adaption of a popular south Korean series, The Good Doctor is produced by David Shore (House creator) and Daniel Dae Kim (Lost/Hawaii Five-O actor). 
Will the series film in Vancouver or Los Angeles? We’ll know soon.
The Good Doctor turned Gate H of BC Place into San Jose.
