Nevertheless, it’s not even two weeks since the first season concluded and fans are eager to find out if the child prodigy would come back for more realistic tales in season 2. Here’s what we know about it.
Is Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. Season 2 Renewed?
As of now, the show is neither renewed nor cancelled. Like we’ve mentioned before, taking into consideration the production cost and viewership ratings only then Disney+ will decide whether to continue the series or call it a wrap.
However, if we have to be honest, the series failed to wow the audience and as a result, the reviews received aren’t the best. But the good news is, it’s somewhat popular with Disney fans.
It’s hard to predict when Disney will give an official announcement regarding the show’s status as it happens most of the time that by the end of the first season, Disney either declares a show’s renewal or cancellation followed by another announcement after some months.
In addition to that, we can expect some form of update by the end of 2021.
