The Good Doctor gained critical acclaim during its first season, which is in large part due to its stellar cast. While Freddie Highmore's incredible portrayal of Shaun Murphy earned him his first Golden Globe nomination, the rest of the show's ensemble is equally talented. Over this season, we have grown to love each and every character, which is why we're especially sad to see one of them go. Deadline recently confirmed that Chuku Modu, who played Jared Kalu, will not be returning for season two. Thankfully, the show is adding four new series regulars in his place. See who all is expected to return for season two ahead.
Seeing that Gonzalez's character oversees the surgical residents, we have a good feeling he'll be back for season two.
The actress, whose character exited the series during the second half of season, has been promoted to a series regular. We can't help but wonder what that means for Lea and Shaun's love story!
Executive producer David Shore has already confirmed that Schiff will be back next season.
The former Hawaii Five-0 star will reprise his role as the cop-turned-doctor when he returns as a series regular next season.
Seeing that Jessica is St. Bonaventure Hospital's in-house attorney, we have a feeling she'll be back next season.
Since the season one finale ends with Shaun and Dr. Glassman going into Dr. Andrews's office, it's safe to assume he'll make an appearance next season.
Morgan will be causing even more drama next season! Gubelmann has been promoted to a series regular.
You'll be seeing more of Dr. Lim in the OR now that Chang has been promoted as a series regular.
It wouldn't be The Good Doctor without the good doctor himself. Highmore will reprise his role as Shaun next season.
