Is Fox’s medical procedural Doc coming on Netflix? Details explored 

Yessss! Fox's medical soap drama Doc is now officially streaming on Netflix in America! To all the people asking if they can binge-watch the pilot season, the answer is a resounding yes. The first season, comprising 10 episodes, will premiere on Netflix on September 23, 2025.

This will give audiences some time to catch up with Dr. Amy Larsen's life before Season 2 picks up on Fox. The American television drama series Doc is a remake of the Italian television phenomenon series Doc – Nelle tue mani, based on the actual life chronicle of Dr. Pierdante Piccioni.

The series focuses on Dr. Amy Larsen, an actress played by Molly Parker, who suffers a car accident and a traumatic head injury, which erases eight years of memory. While she struggles with issues of her personal and working life, Doc struggles with survival, memory, and identity concerns in a health care environment.

What is Doc about

Doc is modeled after Dr. Amy Larsen, the head of internal medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. Larsen is trying to get her career and personal life back on track and overcome amnesia after an accident. The series shows how she fights to adapt to a demanding lifestyle and heal from trauma in her interactions with staff and patients.

The first season is all about her struggle to win back her sense of self, regain her staff's trust, and cope with a world that has progressed in her absence. The supporting cast, Dr. Michael Hamda (Omar Metwally), Dr. Jake Heller (Jon Ecker), and Dr. Joan Ridley (Felicity Huffman), add richness to the plot by depicting the depth of life in the hospital and people's relationships.

Why Doc stands out

Unlike most of the other medical dramas, Doc is founded on a true-life situation, thus introducing an element of reality to the show. Incorporating memory loss and a crisis of identity into the show distinguishes it from the typical hospital dramas. While most procedural dramas are focused on the medical cases only, Doc incorporates the personal development of the main character as well as emotional tension, thus making the show relevant.

Molly Parker's performance as Dr. Amy Larsen is frequently talked about as being one of the best things about the show. Her performance exposes the audience to the frustration, confusion, and tenacity of one who wasted valuable years of her life. Her attitude towards her team gives the audience an idea of how hospitals work and how human relationships are managed in high-stress environments.
