The medical drama Doc has quickly become a standout hit on FOX, blending high-stakes hospital cases with deeply personal stories of loss, redemption, and rediscovery. Starring Emmy-nominated actress Molly Parker as the brilliant but amnesiac Dr. Amy Larsen, the series—adapted from the acclaimed Italian format Doc – Nelle tue mani—premiered to record-breaking viewership in January 2025. With Season 2 currently captivating audiences through its emotional fall finale, fans are already buzzing about what’s next. But is Doc Season 3 happening? Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is Doc About? A Quick Recap of the Series
Inspired by the real-life story of Italian doctor Pierdante Piccioni, who lost 12 years of memories after a 2013 car accident, Doc follows Dr. Amy Larsen, the hard-charging Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a devastating car crash erases the last eight years of her life, Amy wakes up as a stranger to her colleagues, patients, and even her own daughter. Forced to restart as an intern, she navigates a web of professional rivalries, fractured relationships, and ethical dilemmas while piecing together her forgotten past.
Season 1, which aired its 10-episode run from January 7 to March 18, 2025, hooked viewers with its fresh take on the medical genre—focusing less on procedural heroics and more on emotional vulnerability and human connections. It became FOX’s most-watched drama debut in over five years, amassing 16 million multi-platform viewers for the premiere alone. The show’s success led to an early renewal, proving its staying power in a crowded TV landscape.
Doc Season 3 Renewal Status:
As of December 3, 2025, FOX has not announced a renewal or cancellation for Doc Season 3. The network’s decision timeline aligns with last year’s: Season 2 was greenlit on February 26, 2025, just months after Season 1’s strong debut. Industry insiders speculate we could hear news around February 2026, once mid-season ratings for Season 2 solidify.
That said, the outlook is optimistic. Season 1’s massive viewership and Season 2’s full-season order signal strong network confidence. FOX Entertainment President Michael Thorn praised the show in the renewal announcement: “Audiences have embraced Doc… Renewing for a second season was an easy decision.” With no major cast exits rumored and the Italian original running for multiple seasons (including adaptations in 12 countries), there’s plenty of source material to mine.
