Fox renewed the medical drama for a second season on Wednesday, February 26. (The renewal comes with just two episodes left in the first season.) The network noted that it was its most-watched debut in over five years, with 16 million tuning in to the premiere across platforms to-date (including encores, viewing through February 19).

Fox has renewed the medical drama for a 22-episode Season 2, a few weeks before the Season 1 finale on March 18.

Fox has given an early, 22-episode Season 2 renewal to breakout freshman medical drama Doc, starring Molly Parker. This is a rare full-season order of that size in the new broadcast era where seasons often consist of 13-18 episodes.

It has been a very good TV season for the new scripted series on broadcast television. Historically, the freshman series renewal rate is generally in the vicinity of 20 percent each broadcast season.
