You may be wondering why The Good Doctor isn’t airing a new episode this week and why the season 7 release schedule has included weeks worth of reruns at times.

Both the writers’ and actors’ guilds went on strikes, and filming for the show’s final season could not even take place until November 2023 at the earliest. Usually, network TV shows begin filming well before this timeframe. As a result, season 7 has a shorter episode count as well.
