FOX's DOC

Wolf starred for six seasons in FOX's Party of Five, two seasons in NBC's The Night Shift and four seasons in The CW's Nancy Drew. Walker starred in the AppleTV+ limited series Lessons in Chemistry.
- Metwally will play Dr. Michael Hamda, the new Westside Hospital CMO, who possesses a natural authority and obvious intelligence. He works hard to bring humanity back to the business of medicine. He trained as an MD, but realized early on that he could do more good behind the scenes, so he got an MBA and followed the administrative path. While driven in his career, Michael has always put his family first. And even though his marriage fell apart, he's still an excellent dad and does his best to manage the complicated relationship he has with his ex, Dr. Amy Larsen (Parker), despite the fact that they now work together.
- Vann will play Dr. Gina Walker, a neuropsychiatrist and Amy's best friend for two decades. She is witty, warm and dedicated. Post-accident, she's also Amy's doctor. It's not easy for her to balance the two competing and colliding roles she plays in Amy's life - being both her doctor and her friend - but she walks that fine line with grace, good humor and a lot of love. Where she sometimes has more trouble is with navigating her own personal life.
- Ecker will play Dr. Jake Heller, the dedicated and charming Chief Resident, who loves Amy, professionally and personally. And though, painfully, she now has no recollection of him, he continues to defend and champion Amy's work in the hospital. While Jake is warm and fun to be around, he keeps a lot close to the vest - including his troubled upbringing and his strained relationship with his ex-wife Rachel. The two share custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Mia, who is the most important thing in the world to Jake.
- Banerjee will play Dr. Sonya Maitra, a third year resident. She's self-deprecating and funny - or snarky, depending on who she's talking to. She hates the way Amy has treated her and others at the hospital. But it's complicated, because Jake, who adores Amy, is Sonya's closest friend. Sonya comes from a close-knit family: her parents have been married 30 years, and she is the "last single standing" amongst her siblings. She acutely feels the pressure to hurry up and tie the knot, since her biological clock is ticking. But sadly, Mr. Right has been elusive. Tasked with taking care of Amy after her accident, she starts to see another side to the boss she detests.
- Wolf will play Dr. Richard Miller, an attending physician, who is uptight, ambitious and afraid to admit mistakes. However, he's extremely kind to his subordinates and completely devoted to his family. He adores his wife, Victoria (a lawyer), and their kids. Unfortunately, recent family drama has caused upheaval at home and is distracting him at work. He and Amy were once friends, until she "stole" the coveted position of Chief from him. After her accident, he's back in the top job. Where he's sure he belongs. For now...
- Walker will play Dr. Theodore "TJ" Coleman, a first year resident who is wicked smart, kind and strong. Charismatic with an infectious smile, he is a veteran and the son of two cops. He and Amy go back a long way - in fact, she was his inspiration to become a physician. TJ keeps this a secret, not wanting it to appear that he received any preferential treatment from the Chief of Internal Medicine. When Amy returns to work after her accident, TJ, now basically her equal, will have her back and prove fiercely dedicated to helping his role model navigate the challenges of her new reality.
