Molly Parker returns as Dr. Amy Larsen — and Felicity Huffman shakes up Westside Hospital — as ‘Doc’ Season 2 digs deeper into memory, medicine and messy hospital politics.
Molly Parker is back as Dr. Amy Larsen in Doc Season 2, and the stakes feel higher than ever.
The Fox medical drama continues to follow Amy as she rebuilds a life and career after a traumatic brain injury erased eight years of her memory. Season 2 leans into the emotional fallout while widening the world of Westside Hospital with new faces and deeper relationships.
Parker’s Amy remains the heart of the series: a brilliant, determined chief of internal medicine who’s working to regain her footing in a hospital and a life that feel both familiar and strangely foreign. The new episodes mix tense medical cases with quieter character beats, letting viewers see how memory, identity and trust can shift under pressure.
Season 2 brings a notable new addition: Felicity Huffman joins the cast as Dr. Joan Ridley, a character whose arrival promises friction and complexity for the existing team. Alongside Huffman, the show’s central ensemble returns, including Omar Metwally as Dr. Michael Hamda, Jon Ecker as Dr. Jake Heller, Amirah Vann as Dr. Gina Walker, and Anya Banerjee as Dr. Sonya Maitra. Two familiar faces who previously recurred — Patrick Walker and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim — have been promoted to series regulars this season, with Fountain-Jardim playing Katia Hamda.
Fans of the first season will also recognize recurring players such as Scott Wolf (Dr. Richard Miller), Sarah Allen (Nora) and Emma Pfitzer Price (Hannah), who continue to add emotional texture and interpersonal tension to the series.
The episodic photos released for Season 2 give a peek at Amy navigating intense hospital scenes, tender staff moments and the new dynamics Huffman’s character introduces.
Behind the scenes, Doc remains a co-production between Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios. Barbie Kligman continues as showrunner and executive producer, joined by executive producers Hank Steinberg, Erwin Stoff and Judith McCreary.
The series is adapted from the acclaimed Italian drama Doc — Nelle tue mani, created and produced by Lux Vide, a Fremantle company — a pedigree that helps explain the show’s emotional depth and focus on patient-centered storytelling.
New episodes of Doc Season 2 air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. If you loved the first season’s mix of medical drama and quiet humanity, this one looks set to deliver more of the same — with fresh conflicts, memorable guest turns and plenty of heart.
