Patrick Walker and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim have been upped from recurring to series regulars on the Fox medical drama Doc for Season 2.
Based on the Italian series Nelle tue mani, Doc follows powerhouse physician Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker) as she continues to rebuild her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory. No longer Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital, Amy must restart her medical journey as an Intern in the hopes of becoming the doctor she once was. She’ll confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships, and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know.
Wilson portrays Dr. TJ Coleman, a first-year resident at the start of the series. TJ is smart, kind, strong, and charismatic with an infectious smile. He is a veteran and the son of two cops. He and Amy go back a long way – in fact, she was his inspiration to become a physician. When Amy returns to work after her accident, TJ, now basically her equal, will have her back and prove fiercely dedicated to helping his role model navigate the challenges of her new reality.
Fountain-Jardim portrays Katie Hamda, Dr. Amy Larsen and Dr. Michael Hamda’s (Omar Metwally) daughter. She and Amy have been working to repair their strained relationship – a rift that began during Amy’s 8-year memory gap. Katie is described as a sensitive, compassionate, thoughtful person, and a consummate perfectionist with dreams of becoming a doctor someday.

The freshman series, adapted by showrunner and EP Barbie Kligman, was renewed early in the season with a 22-episode order. At the time, Deadline’s EIC of TV, Nellie Andreeva remarked, “This is a rare full-season order of that size in the new broadcast era where seasons often consist of 13-18 episodes.”
Doc closed out its freshman season with a 9% increase in viewership from the premiere with 2.4M total live + same-day viewers, per Nielsen. In the 18-49 demo, the finale skyrocketed 56% over the premiere to a 0.28 L+SD rating, Deadline’s Katie Campione reported in March.
Doc is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment Studios. Barbie Kligman and Hank Steinberg serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Erwin Stoff, Russell Fine, John Weber, Frank Siracusa, Carol Barbee, and David Foster also serve as executive producers. Doc is inspired by a true story and is based on the globally acclaimed Italian series, Doc — Nelle tue mani, which was created and is produced by Lux Vide, a Fremantle Company.
