Freddie Highmore at the ABC Upfront.
The Good Doctor returns to Vancouver this summer.
Filming of the second season starts June 27th in metro Vancouver, with Freddie Highmore back as the autistic and brilliant Dr. Shaun Murphy.
The Good Doctor was a Top Ten hit in its freshman season, ranking #7 in total viewers with an average audience of 15.6 million viewers and #9 in the coveted 18-49 demo with 3.2.
It was ABC’s biggest hit until the Roseanne revival premiered this year.
Roseanne Barr introduced Disney-ABC Television Group President Ben Sherwood at the New York City upfront earlier this month.
And Freddie Highmore introduced ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey, noting he wasn’t big enough last year to appear on the Upfront stage “so times really have changed.”
