Will ‘Doctor Odyssey’ Return for Season 2? Here’s What We Know So Far

ABC’s freshman dramedy Doctor Odyssey has wasted absolutely no time reaching destinations other shows take years to get to. Already we’ve seen a threesome, a surprise pregnancy, and even a little shark-jumping action for good measure. With a central setting that can move across oceans, though, there are no limits to where the show can cruise to next.

The first season of Doctor Odyssey is nearing its end; the finale for it (as well as its Thursday night lineup bookends 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy) will air on May 15. So will the show return to port for a second season? Here’s what we know about Doctor Odyssey Season 2 so far.

Has Doctor Odyssey been renewed for Season 2?

As of now, no, Doctor Odyssey hasn’t been renewed. It’s not a sure thing, either. While 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy were renewed by ABC (along with The Rookie, Shifting Gears, and Will Trent) Doctor Odyssey is currently on the bubble. Deadline reported that the show’s number of linear and same-day viewers dropped from 4.2 million in the series premiere to 3.5 million, not counting a crossover boost from Angela Bassett‘s “Casino Week” drop-in. Meanwhile, the streaming numbers also took a tumble, and the show, which is produced by 20th Television, is reportedly costly to produce. So Doctor Odyssey‘s fate, at this time, is unclear.

Who will star in Doctor Odyssey Season 2?

A cast has yet to be confirmed for a potential Season 2, but if the main players from Season 1 return, that would include Joshua Jackson as Dr. Max Bankman, Don Johnson as Captain Robert Massey, Phillipa Soo as Avery Morgan, and Sean Teale as Tristan Silva. The recurring cast members portraying the crew of the ship include Marcus Emanuel Mitchell as First Officer Spencer Monroe, Jacqueline Toboni as Rosie, Rick Cosnett as Corey, and Laura Harrier as Vivian Montgomery.

When will Doctor Odyssey Season 2 premiere?

If the show is renewed for Season 2, it would likely premiere as part of ABC’s fall 2025 lineup.

    Please sign petition to save show on change dot org. A petition saved The Way Home from cancellation, but it had over 9,000 signatures and Dr. Oddysey only has 300.

    It seems ABC are getting just as bad as CBS….. they get people hooked on really good series and then they either put it on peacock or paramount. They don’t seem to realize when they’ve got a really good show. It’s really nice to have a break from guns and death and have a really great light hearted show that’s awesome. I’d really like to know where they come up with these stats….I’ve never been asked have you? Dr Odyssey is great. Hope ABC realizes what a good show they have and renew for another season…after that if their so called viewers still drop then don’t renew it. Give it chance!

    Love the show so much! Reminds me of Love Boat but medical. The best shows don’t make anymore though. I loved the Good Doctor and Station 19 and they ended as well. Ugh!!

    I would love for the networks to stop treating their viewers like second class items of their business. Like stopping production midway and never letting anyone know what's happening. If this amazing show fails, it is ALL thanks to the lacking and self-centered decisions of the network execs. So happy we are phasing away from their grasp and into streaming.... so sad we haven't leveled off yet. The show is great!

    I love doctor odessey! I hope it’s renewed. It’s a nice change from the usual cop and medical tv shows. I think the actors are a diverse group and I like the varying stories. I hope it stays!

    Dr. Odyessy should return for another season and more. I felt it was a breath of fresh air. Different storylines. I loved the cast but wish they would not have had that love triangle. Please renew!

    I was interested at first but now it's ALL sex and weird sex. Very little plots to keep me interested. Hope it's cancelled.
