“The Good Lawyer” is not moving forward as ABC drops “The Good Doctor” spinoff.

Further consequences of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA attacks. ABC decided not to proceed The good lawyer, his planned legal accessory The good doctorr, which would be headed by Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.

The channel has postponed the decision to start two spin-offs, a bubble drama series The newcomer: Feds and the Good lawyerr pilot. Today the call was made and neither of them is making any progress.

The good lawyer emerged as good doctor planned a spinoff, with the backdoor pilot airing last spring as an episode of the hit medical drama. It was well received, with ABC buyers praising McMann and Huffman’s performances.

Broadcast options increased on August 15. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the waiting period was extended by the length of the work stoppage, giving ABC another month to make a decision The good lawyer. (For The Newbie: Fedsthe deadline was in December.)

As Deadline reported, the longer the strikes last past Labor Day, the more likely great shows will experience a resurgence. ABC also canceled Household economics End of September.

ABC planned the launch The good lawyer next spring, when broadcast networks are running out of shelf space as they try to accommodate all of their popular recurring scripted series.

For this reason, ABC decided to release its only new scripted series, the hour-long series, at the end of September. High potential until next fall. This project, starring Kaitlin Olson, is the only ABC 2023 pilot to receive a series order.

The good lawyer, from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Signature, was written by The good doctor Co-showrunners David Shore and Liz Friedman. In the backdoor pilot episode, Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) seeks legal help to win a case and trusts promising young lawyer Joni DeGroot (McMann), who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
