After seven years, the popular medical drama The Good Doctor season 7 has end. It may have been a shortened season due to the impact of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, but that does not mean there wasn't plenty of emotion in bringing the story of Shaun Murphy and his fellow doctors to a close.

There was hope that the world of the TV series would continue with a spinoff, The Good Lawyer, but that never came to fruition. So these final episodes were the last we are getting of these characters and the universe that creator David Shore established.

Here's everything to know about The Good Doctor season 7.

How to watch The Good Doctor

With The Good Doctor now concluded, you can watch all of the episodes on-demand on Hulu in the US, or on ABC.com if you have a TV provider that carries ABC, i.e. traditional pay-TV subscription or live TV streaming service like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV.

In the UK, all seven seasons of The Good Doctor is available through NOW TV, while some seasons of the medical drama are available on Prime Video and Channel 4.

So filling out the rest of the hospital staff are Richard Schiff's Dr. Glassman, Fiona Gublemann's Dr. Reznick, Will Yun Lee's Dr. Park, Christina Chang's Dr. Lim, Paige Spara's Lea, Bria Henderson's Dr. Allen, Noah Galvin's Dr. Wolke and Chuku Modu's Dr. Kalu, who returned after time away from the show in season 6, are going to round out the series regulars for The Good Doctor season 7. 

Brandon Larracuente, who played Dr. Daniel Perez in The Good Doctor season 6, is not returning as a series regular for season 7, though Deadline reports he could still occasionally appear as a guest star. Larracuente fans will be happy to hear that the actor has already lined up a new TV show, On Call, which is going to stream on Prime Video.
