Netflix officially adds 22 new episodes of a hit medical drama series right as season 3 premieres on network television this Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This celebrated series consists of two complete seasons, one with 10 episodes and the other with 22, which together earned a strong 78% Rotten Tomatoes score. Early reviews have yet to be released for the brand-new third season, but the series has produced impressive and consistent viewership since it premiered in 2025. Netflix just added all 22 episodes of Doc season 2, one of Fox's most-watched medical dramas of all time, on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This is the same day as the Doc season 3 premiere, which airs exclusively on Fox at 9 PM EST. Doc season 2 joins the 10-part first season on Netflix, allowing subscribers to watch all 32 episodes of season 1 and 2 just as Doc season 3's official Fall 2026 rollout begins. Doc averaged 7.4 million viewers per episode across multiple platforms and was Fox's most-watched debut since 2020's 9-1-1: Lone Star. Doc Season 2 Is Now Officially On Netflix As Season 3 Premieres Doc season 2 is ready to stream on Netflix as of today, allowing subscribers the opportunity to binge-watch the first two seasons of the series and catch up for season 3's weekly episode drops. Just like season 2, Doc season 3 is expected to have 22 total episodes, which will extend the series to 54 episodes overall, and should be released on a similar timeframe from September to April of next year. Those who chose not to wait more than half a year to get through season 2 can now binge it all in just a few sittings on Netflix. Doc follows the initially tragic story of Dr. Amy Larsen, played by Molly Parker (Deadwood, House of Cards). The series begins with Amy losing the last eight years of her memory during the aftermath of a life-threatening car accident. She discovers that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury from the accident and must work her way back from an intern-level to regain her role as the chief of internal medicine at her local hospital. Not only can Amy not remember how to do her job to its fullest extent, but she also doesn't recognize her daughter as a teenager, as the last memories of her she retains are of her as a child. Doc was created by Barbie Kilgman, who has worked on numerous popular network TV shows such as Magnum P.I., CSI: NY, FBI, and more. The series is inspired by the true story of Italian doctor Pierdante Piccioni, who similarly lost 12 years of his memory after a car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury. Piccioni's story was dramatized in the 2020 Italian series Doc: In Your Hands, which Fox has developed for American television. Doc switched settings from Italy to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Why Doc Is The Perfect Medical Drama To Binge Before Season 3 Fox (via MoviesStillsDb) Doc is ideal to start binge-watching on Netflix this week because of just how many episodes there are to dive into. Now that 22 new episodes are available to stream, each 43 minutes long, Doc is a show that you can get hooked on for several days, if not weeks. Since the Doc season 3 rollout is expected to take more than half a year, there's also no rush to catch up on the new season before its debut. That said, once you get into Doc, you may want to keep pressing play on the next episode. With a total runtime of 15 hours and 46 minutes, or 23 hours and 6 minutes if you include season 1, Doc has a lot to offer and is easy to get lost in. While the series isn't as acclaimed or realistic as HBO's medical drama The Pitt, there are enough strong attributes about it – namely, great performances by an ensemble cast, interesting character development, and crafty emotional storytelling – that make it worth checking out this week on Netflix.
