‘Doc’ Season 3 Episode 3 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch, and Preview
New episodes of ‘Doc’ air on Fox on Tuesdays and stream on Hulu the next day. The next installment, titled “I Know What I Want,” airs Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m. ET. That gives fans of the Fox medical drama a clear date to mark as the new run settles into its weekly rhythm.
‘Doc’ centers on Dr. Amy Larsen, who lost eight years of her memory after a traumatic brain injury. This guide covers the schedule, the streaming options, and what has been revealed about the story ahead.
‘Doc’ Release Date and Air Time
The third episode of the new run is set for Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m. ET. The series airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox, the same slot used for its premiere on Sept. 22. Viewers on the West Coast can expect the same time on their local Fox station.
The season consists of 22 episodes. Only the opening three episodes have dates in the published schedule, so viewers should not assume a full calendar has been announced. Fans planning their Tuesday nights should keep an eye out for updates from the network.
Fox renewed the series in March with another extended episode order. Network president Michael Thorn called the show a breakout that delivered Fox’s largest scripted multiplatform audience of the season. That performance helps explain why the drama has kept its prime placement on the schedule.
The renewal was confirmed by TVLine, which noted that co-showrunners Hank Steinberg and Barbie Kligman would continue to lead the series. Their return points to continuity in tone as the story moves forward. The steady creative leadership also suggests the show will keep its focus on Amy’s personal journey.
Where to Watch ‘Doc’ Live and Online
Viewers can catch the show live on Fox, and Tom’s Guide points cord cutters toward Sling or Fubo, with Fubo offering a free trial. Anyone with an antenna or a cable package that carries the local Fox affiliate can also tune in at broadcast time. Those options cover most viewers in the United States.
Episodes are available to stream on Hulu the next day. That makes it easy for anyone who misses the Tuesday broadcast to catch up before the following week. Hulu is the main streaming home for current episodes.
Netflix added the first two seasons of the series in the United States, while the current episodes stream on Hulu. Newcomers can therefore binge earlier episodes before jumping into the weekly schedule. It is a useful path for viewers who want the full backstory on Amy and the Westside staff.
Outside the United States, Canadian viewers can look to Stack TV, while an Australian release on 7Plus has no confirmed date. The published schedule does not confirm a British broadcaster, streaming service, or UK release date. International fans may need to wait for further announcements.
Preview of “I Know What I Want” and What Comes Next
According to the episode description, Amy and Jake are paired together on a bizarre case that lays bare the still raw feelings surrounding their fractured relationship. The setup puts two former partners in close quarters and gives the medical story a personal edge. It also suggests the case will test how well they can work together.
Elsewhere in the hospital, Michael and Sonya are thrust into a family crisis while trying to save a young addict. One review of the premiere pointed out that Amy and Jake are now broken up, which gives their pairing extra weight. The episode looks set to balance the case of the week with the emotional fallout.
The larger storyline continues to revolve around Dr. Ben Grant. Blair Underwood’s character, a cardiothoracic surgeon, first appeared in the finale of the previous season and is now a series regular. The trailer showed Amy recovering memories of a romantic past with Ben, while he insisted they barely know each other.
The premiere revealed that Ben is trying to reach Amy to discuss compromising actions from their past that may carry legal and moral implications. Co-showrunner Hank Steinberg told TVLine that Ben would bring an energy unlike anyone else in the cast. Amy and Sonya are also guiding a new group of interns played by Barrett Carnahan, Raffa Virago, Cecilia Lee, and Kolton Stewart. With so many threads in motion, do you think Amy and Jake can get through a bizarre case in ‘Doc’ without reopening old wounds, or will their fractured relationship take over the story?
