The official release date of The Good Doctor season 4 remains a question until now. Due to the global health crisis, the medical drama faces a lot of uncertainties. But despite that, it seems like the show might be coming back "soon" -- at least based on some of the teases.
The official Twitter account of the series shared a photo hinting that The Good Doctor season 4 is "coming soon" on Monday nights on ABC. No further details were revealed aside from that. Perhaps, the network doesn't want to share any specifics if ever the series won't end up premiering in the fall.
There are a lot of things that should be considered before the production potentially starts in the summer. The health and safety of the cast and crew are the top priorities at the moment. Everyone could start filming provided with safety protocols.
The Good Doctor season 4 has a lot of things to consider and health and safety remain to be the top priorities. Other challenges include traveling the cast to location and undergoing potential quarantines. They could eventually go back to work when the situation gets a little bit better.
As for what we can expect in the upcoming season, Freddie Highmore's Dr. Shaun Murphy's storyline will be further explored. He might be dealing with new challenges once the new installment arrives. He has gone through a lot and it seems like he'll be facing changes along the way.
One of the most interesting stories here is his relationship with Lea. The Good Doctor season 4 is a chance for their relationship to evolve. It would be nice to see them having more romantic scenes since the previous installment has been rough for both of them.
But even though they already admit their feelings for each other, that doesn't necessarily mean things will run smoothly for them. The two could probably be facing conflicts and challenges down the road. This will prove how fit they are to one another.
Aside from Shaun's storyline, there are other things worth exploring in the upcoming installment. For instance, Nicholas Gonazalez's Dr. Melendez tragically died in the third season. This is something that should be addressed given that this is a devastating moment for the doctors.
In addition, Jasika Nicole is not coming back full-time as Carly in The Good Doctor season 4. And because of that, there are speculations that there would be new additions in the hospital. Perhaps, someone may arrive and could stir things up between doctors.
