FOX is giving viewers multiple opportunities to catch the series premiere of its new medical drama, Doc. The series, which debuted to modest ratings, centers on Dr. Amy Larsen, a Chief of Internal Medicine whose life takes a dramatic turn after a brain injury erases eight years of memories. For those who missed the initial airing, or simply want to relive the experience, encore presentations are scheduled for Sunday, January 12, 2025, and Monday, January 13, 2025.
Molly Parker (Deadwood, House of Cards) anchors the series as Dr. Larsen, facing the daunting task of rebuilding her personal and professional life with fragmented memories. Imagine returning to a hospital where you’re supposed to be in charge, only to find your entire understanding of your colleagues, your marriage, and even your own identity has vanished. It’s a premise ripe with both dramatic and comedic potential.
The supporting cast includes Omar Metwally (The Affair), Amirah Vann (Underground), Jon Ecker (Chicago Fire), and Anya Banerjee (The Good Karma Hospital), with Scott Wolf (Party of Five) and Patrick Walker (The Deuce) in recurring roles. While the pilot sets up a fairly standard medical procedural framework, the amnesia storyline offers a twist that might hook viewers intrigued by the long-term implications. How will Dr. Larsen readjust to a world that’s moved on without her? Can she regain her medical expertise, and will her relationships survive this seismic shift?
The first encore presentation airs Sunday, January 12, at 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT, following the NFL Wild Card Game, strategically placed to capture a potentially large audience. The second airing follows on Monday, January 13, at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT, after 9-1-1: Lone Star. The show’s regular time slot is Tuesdays at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX. Will these encore presentations give Doc the boost it needs to find a wider audience? Given the overcrowded television landscape, the prognosis remains uncertain, but FOX clearly isn’t ready to discharge this series just yet.
Doc airs Tuesdays at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX.
