Fox Orders Doc for 2023-24; CBS Pulls Let's Make a Deal Primetime
Fox has given a straight-to-series order to the medical procedural drama Doc, from Executive Producers Barbie Kligman (Magnum P.I., Secrets and Lies, Private Practice), Hank Steinberg (For Life, Without a Trace) and Erwin Stoff (I Am Legend, The Matrix). The new series, to be co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, will premiere on Fox in 2023-2024. Based on the globally acclaimed Italian series, Doc -- Nelle tue mani, which was created and is produced by Lux Vide, a Fremantle Company, and featured Simona Tabasco and Beatrice Grannò of The White Lotus, Fox's Doc is a new medical drama centered on the hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Elias, Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she's treated, colleagues she's crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. She can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.
Fox's pick-up of Doc follows last week's Season Two renewal of the network's hit dramas Accused and Alert: Missing Persons Unit, both of which are also co-productions of Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment Studios. Fox recently renewed its hit drama The Cleaning Lady, which is co-produced by Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, for a third season.
On Wednesdays (9:00-10:00PM, ET/PT), encores of the CBS drama FBI will air in place of the previously scheduled Let's Make a Deal Primetime, which will be rescheduled on future dates. Let's Make a Deal Primetime was scheduled to air for four consecutive weeks starting April 19, but now effective immediately, reruns of FBI will air instead, that actually will start this Wednesday (April 5).
