Emmy winner Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) has joined the cast of Fox’s Doc season two as a series regular. According to the network’s casting announcement, Huffman will play Amy’s med school professor and mentor, Dr. Joan Ridley. Ridley will be involved in the plot as the new Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital.
Molly Parker leads the cast as Dr. Amy Larsen. Returning series stars also include Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker, Anya Banerjee, Patrick Walker, and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim.
“The second season of Doc follows powerhouse physician Dr. Amy Larsen (Parker) as she continues to rebuild her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory. No longer Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital, Amy must restart her medical journey as an intern in the hopes of becoming the doctor she once was,” reads Fox’s synopsis. “She’ll confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships, and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know.”
Barbie Kligman and Hank Steinberg are the co-showrunners and serve as executive producers. Additional executive producers include Erwin Stoff, Russell Fine, John Weber, Frank Siracusa, Carol Barbee, and David Foster.
Felicity Huffman earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Transamerica, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Desperate Housewives. Huffman’s recent credits include American Crime, The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, Criminal Minds: Evolution, and Accused.
