How many episodes are there in Doc season 2? Episode count, release schedule, and more

FOX's hit medical series, Doc season 2, has finally arrived six months after the season 1 finale. The new season had a special Sunday premiere on September 14, 2025, but those who weren't able to catch the premiere episode that day don't have to fret. Episode 1 of the second season also returned for a second airing on September 23, with new episodes following a Tuesday evening release schedule.

Doc season 2 will have 22 episodes, more than double the number of episodes of the first season, which only had ten. The series had a rare full-season order, with it being the only one getting a 22-episode season since The Resident, another FOX medical drama that delivered 23 episodes during its fifth season back in 2021-2022.

With 22 episodes in total, this means there will be more of Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker) and her challenges in regaining her memory after a tragic accident to see this season.

The first season of Doc follows Dr. Amy Larsen rebuilding her life and returning to being an intern after she loses her memory from a tragic car accident. In the second season, her journey in rebuilding her life and navigating her new reality continues. Fox's description of the second season further says:

"No longer Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital, Amy must restart her medical journey as an Intern in the hopes of becoming the doctor she once was. She’ll confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships, and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know."

If regaining her memory and relearning her ways to return to her old self, as the Westside Hospital's Chief of Internal Medicine, there are people around her whose motives and priorities remain hidden. Her personal and professional struggles aside, the season also brings more of the usual hospital drama, high-stakes emergency cases, and medical crises that will leave the doctor's life in chaos.
