ABC has discontinued a spin-off series from one of its critically acclaimed TV shows.<\/p>\n
The network has confirmed that they will not launch The Good Lawyer – an offshoot of The Good Doctor – as its own show, according to TVLine.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The legal spinoff starred Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman as Janet Stewart and Nancy Drew's Kennedy McMann as Jonni DeGroot.<\/p>\n
On March 13, a crossover titled The Good Lawyer aired as episode 16th of season 6 of The Good Doctor and saw Jonni and Dr Murphy succeed in their legal battles.<\/p>\n
During season 6 of The Good Doctor, the spinoff aired a backdoor pilot, which showed Kennedy\u2019s character, Jonni, living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The show introduced the audience to the pair via some legal troubles for Freddie Highmore\u2019s character Dr Shaun Murphy.<\/p>\n
In the pilot, Dr Murphy is sued for malpractice but meets Jonni, who helps him get justice and clear his name with the assistance of Felicity's character, Janet.<\/p>\n Janet was a mentor to Joni in a similar style to how Dr Glassman, played by Richard Schiff, was to Dr Murphy.<\/p>\n In April, ABC announced that The Good Lawyer would be renewed for season 7.<\/p>\n The hit medical drama aired in 2017 and followed a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome named Shaun, portrayed by Freddie Highmore.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Freddie\u2019s character, Shaun, strives through his disabilities and uses them as special powers to visualise the human body, diagnose and treat several severe medical conditions.<\/p>\n Season 6\u2019s finale aired in May, and viewers were left on a cliffhanger after Shaun's partner, Lea Dilallo-Murphy (Paige Spara), gave birth to their baby.<\/p>\n The Good Doctor airs on ABC in the US, Sky Witness and NOW in the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/picture>MIC DROP <\/span><\/p>\n
