ABC announced Thursday that the upcoming seventh season of The Good Doctor will be its last. The medical drama starring Freddie Highmore will be one of several popular, long-running scripted series that will be ending this year, along with ABC’s Station 19, CBS’ Young Sheldon, Blue Bloods and S.W.A.T. as well as the CBS/Paramount+ SEAL Team. All but one, stalwart Blue Bloods, debuted during the 2017-2018 broadcast season and will end their runs after seven seasons.
Also introduced in 2017-18 were 9-1-1, which is moving from Fox to ABC for Season 7, and The Resident which wrapped its Fox run after 6 seasons. That gives the class of 2017-18 seven scripted series that ran for at least six seasons, with six of them making it to seven.
Given the contraction in the linear TV business due to declining viewership and increased financial pressure, that is a feat that will likely never be repeated. Television is a numbers game, and fewer series orders would yield fewer hits. Traditional media companies’ strong balance sheet focus would then likely cut short the runs of some of those hits.
The volume of cancellations of popular, well established series, is alarming, and some of them, like The Good Doctor, Station 19 — as well as S.W.A.T. before the reversal with a Season 7 pickup — were surprising and felt somewhat premature.
To make things worse, fans will get abbreviated final chapters of their favorite shows due to the double Hollywood strike, with most last seasons consisting of 10 episodes. (Young Sheldon is a major exception with a 14-episode final season; Blue Bloods will produce 18 episodes split into two parts.)
Only two of the seven 2017-18 series that got to six seasons were spinoffs of established series, The Big
