The Good Doctor: Who Is and Isn't Returning to St. Bonaventure Hospital Next Season
The Good Doctor gained critical acclaim during its first season, which is in large part due to its stellar cast. While Freddie Highmore's incredible portrayal of Shaun Murphy earned him his first Golden Globe nomination, the rest of the show's ensemble is equally talented. Over this season, we have grown to love each and every character, which is why we're especially sad to see one of them go. Deadline recently confirmed that Chuku Modu, who played Jared Kalu, will not be returning for season two. Thankfully, the show is adding four new series regulars in his place. See who all is expected to return for season two ahead.

Nicholas Gonzalez as Dr. Melendez
Seeing that Gonzalez's character oversees the surgical residents, we have a good feeling he'll be back for season two.

Paige Spara as Lea
The actress, whose character exited the series during the second half of season, has been promoted to a series regular. We can't help but wonder what that means for Lea and Shaun's love story!

Beau Garrett as Jessica
Seeing that Jessica is St. Bonaventure Hospital's in-house attorney, we have a feeling she'll be back next season.

Hill Harper as Dr. Andrews
Since the season one finale ends with Shaun and Dr. Glassman going into Dr. Andrews's office, it's safe to assume he'll make an appearance next season.

It wouldn't be The Good Doctor without the good doctor himself. Highmore will reprise his role as Shaun next season.
