ABC Schedule Change Delays New Episodes of ‘The Good Doctor’ and ‘The Rookie’

Due to production delays caused by the SAG and WGA strikes, new episodes of ‘The Good Doctor’ and ‘The Rookie’ have been postponed. ABC has been airing reruns of both shows since early April, leaving fans frustrated. The strikes resulted in filming delays for the new seasons until November 2023, leading to a shorter episode count. ‘The Good Doctor,’ which stars Freddie Highmore as autistic surgeon Shaun Murphy, will end with its current seventh season. ‘The Rookie,’ featuring Nathan Fillion as LAPD’s oldest rookie, also had its last new episode air on April 9. Both shows will return with new episodes on Tuesday, April 30. Fans have expressed their disappointment on social media, voicing their frustration over the multiple reruns and the long wait for new content.
