The Good Doctor has been airing on ABC for six seasons, and now the network is spinning off the medical drama into a new series called The Good Lawyer. Even though the show will focus on the law rather than medicine, the protagonists in both have neurological development abnormalities that they’ve learned to use professionally.
David Shore and Liz Friedman, the brains behind both The Good Doctor and The Good Lawyer, also serve as executive producers on both shows. ABC has scheduled the premiere of The Good Lawyer for the fall of 2023, but the series will kick off with a special episode of The Good Doctor this year.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Good Lawyer to get caught up on that and the rest of the series.

The Good Lawyer Release Date: A Compelling Spinoff From the Good Doctor
On March 13th, viewers will be introduced to The Good Lawyer for the first time in the season 6 episode of The Good Doctor titled “The Good Lawyer.” The pilot episode of the spinoff series is “embedded” here.
Although no specific date has been revealed, the legal drama’s series premiere is anticipated to occur as part of ABC’s fall 2023 programming.
The Good Lawyer Summary of the Plot
Similar to The Good Doctor, The Good Lawyer will center on a young professional dealing with a problem of brain development. In this case, OCD (OCD).
This show follows Joni, a young lawyer at a prestigious firm who is intelligent, humorous, and self-aware. She does not want to be singled out because of her OCD, which affects her personal and professional life, and she is proud of her keen eye for detail, which helps her solve cases in ways that others miss.
The pilot episode of The Good Lawyer is based on an episode of The Good Doctor, and below is a description of that episode:
Dr. Shaun Murphy hires a young, talented lawyer with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the hopes that he can help him win a lawsuit.
The Good Lawyer Cast: Who Will Be In?
Kennedy McMann will take on the role of Joni in The Good Lawyer. The true McMann is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. McMann, who previously appeared as Nancy Drew in a CW series of the same name, will now lead yet another TV series.
Next to McMann is Felicity Huffman, who plays Joni’s mentor and friend, Janet Stewart, similar to Dr. Aaron Glassman’s (Richard Schiff) role on The Good Doctor. Although Huffman’s role on Desperate Housewives has brought her the most fame, she has also appeared in films like When They See Us, Gets Shorty,
American Crime, and Sports Night, and was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Transamerica. Huffman’s involvement in the college admissions scam resulted in a prison sentence, and The Good Lawyer is her first acting appearance since her release.
Now, Bethlehem Million is the only other confirmed cast member; she will play Abbie, Joni’s older sister, roommate, best friend, and biggest cheerleader. Million has made appearances in the films And Just Like That…, Flatbush Misdemeanors, and Sick.
