Doc follows the hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Larson (Molly Parker), the former Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she’s treated, colleagues she’s crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away.
She struggles to continue practicing medicine despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.
His deal also is believed to be for one season. Underwood will play Dr. Ben Grant, a world-class trauma and cardiothoracic surgeon with an ego that somehow outpaces even his resume. A once-in-a-generation talent with the swagger to match, he doesn’t just save lives — he owns the OR. Impossibly magnetic and even more confident, he’s never not been the smartest person in the room… until he meets Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker). Almost instantly, their approaches clash, egos collide, and sparks fly like Westside has never seen. Together, their brilliance is unmatched —as long as they can survive each other.
Season 2 addition Felicity Huffman as Dr. Joan Ridley, the new, results-oriented chief of internal medicine is thought to have had a one-season deal.
Season 3 addition will be Blair Underwood as Dr. Ben Grant, a world-class trauma and cardiothoracic surgeon with an ego that somehow outpaces even his resume.
