The Good Doctor Is Undergoing a Few Big Changes in Season 2

During the show's PaleyFest panel, executive producer Daniel Dae Kim revealed that Shaun will face a few trials in the coming season. "Freddie [Highmore]'s journey — Shaun's journey — is going to have a couple of twists and turns that I find incredibly compelling," he said. Executive producer David Shore added that Shaun will face even more challenging situations that will ultimately help him grow. "I think the show superficially is about Dr. Murphy learning how to navigate the world," he said. "But I think on a deeper level, the show is much more of what Dr. Murphy has to teach us."
