ABC Finally Decides Whether to Renew or Cancel 'Doctor Odyssey' After Delay


'Doctor Odyssey' is the only show still in limbo at ABC — but why is it taking the network this long to decide whether it’s renewed or canceled?

The medical drama, which debuted in September 2024, introduced viewers to Joshua Jackson ‘s character, Max Bankman, on his journey to becoming the new onboard doctor of a cruise ship called the Odyssey. This agreement, which is worth nearly $2.5 billion per year, means NBC will air up to 100 regular-season games, which affected the amount of original programming headed our way in the fall. “I shouldn’t care that a show called and about a rookie is returning for its premise-defying eighth season, and I don’t begrudge any audience members for sticking around to find out if their favorite characters will or won’t Trent,” he added.
