The Good Doctor follows Shaun Murphy as he relocates from a quiet country life to join a prestigious hospitalā€™s surgical unit. Alone in the world and unable to personally connect with those around him, Shaun uses his extraordinary medical gifts to save lives and challenge the scepticism of his colleagues.

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky Living, said: ā€œThe Good Doctor is going to be a brilliant addition to Sky Living’s line up of the best-loved US drama. I personally canā€™t wait for the twists and turns as Dr Shaun Murphy makes his incredible mark on the medical world.ā€

The premiere date for the series hasn’t been confirmed yet but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know anything.
