The Good Doctor season 4 is coming next month with its two-hour premiere episode. The story will focus more on the pandemic, something that's happening in the real world at the moment. The series will feature a lot of dramatic moments now that everything turned upside down.
The official trailer of The Good Doctor season 4 emphasized the current global health crisis. The title of the premiere is "Frontline," which is a strong indication that the episode revolves around the health workers working amidst the pandemic.
The upcoming installment tells a story that mirrors the current times in the real world. The surgeons at San Jose St Bonaventure Hospital will be dealing with the impact of the global health crisis while facing their personal issues at the same time.
The clip showed how the health crisis caused radical changes in the lives of most of the characters. Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) and Lea Dilallo (Paige Spara) just entered into a relationship, but they're forced to live separately because of the virus.
Their current situation has caused an emotional strain for both of them. The two can't be together and can't go near each other for the time being since they could be exposed to the virus. The pandemic serves as the first biggest challenge to their relationship.
Also, the clip trailer showed other characters feeling the strain at work, particularly Dr. Claire Brown (Antonia Thomas). She's still in mourning following the unexpected and tragic death of Dr. Neil Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez) in the previous installment.
In addition to the virus, the official trailer of The Good Doctor season 4 featured the arrival of a new team of residents. They're going to do their own best and take part in order to save the lives of many. While Shaun can be a leader to them, his honesty could eventually cause a clash between them.
Meanwhile, a new character is coming in the premiere episode. Carly Pope will portray the role of Lily Cross, someone who's going to play a huge part in the pandemic-themed storyline. Her husband becomes sick and shows signs and symptoms similar to the coronavirus.
Lily is said to be at the heart of The Good Doctor season 4 premiere. She's frustrated by the fact that she cannot go near her husband and comfort him. Due to the current situation, she is required to follow the rules and safety regulations of the hospital.
The Good Doctor season 4 is premiering on Monday, Nov. 2, on ABC.
