'The Good Doctor' Meets 'The Good Lawyer' In Pilot Episode

ABC has released a trailer for the next episode of The Good Doctor, airing March 13, which is an embedded pilot episode for potential spinoff The Good Lawyer.

Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) seeks legal representation to help him win a case and puts his faith in a promising, young lawyer who has obsessive compulsive disorder.

The episode guest stars Nancy Drew star Kennedy McMann as Jodi DeGroot, the brilliant, funny and self-aware lawyer who is relatively new to her prestigious law firm when she takes Shaun’s case.

Felicity Huffman (American Crime) stars as as Janet Stewart, a highly regarded attorney and partner at the law firm with a fierce intellect and dry wit.

Joni’s compassionate, practical slightly older sister is played by Bethlehem Million. She is a voice of reason and is Joni’s biggest cheerleader, roommate and best friend.

The episode is written by co-showrunners David Shore and Liz Friedman, and directed by Ruben Fleischer.

The Good Doctor premiered in 2017 and is currently in its sixth season.

In 2021, Freddie Highmore revealed he got married and talked about his wife and married life.
