With Season 4 of The Good Doctor coming into it’s final weeks and bringing in so many new viewers, we wanted to cover how to watch this current season if you don’t have cable. and how to watch previous seasons of the The Good Doctor and on-demand.
Best Way to Watch The Good Doctor
Every episode of The Good Doctor is available on Hulu On-Demand. There is even a 30-day Free Trial which is plenty of time to watch all 4 seasons of the show. All episodes of The Good Doctor seasons 1, 2, and 3 are available to stream now. New episodes of the current season (Season 4) appear on Hulu the day after they air on ABC. The Hulu on-demand service starts at $5.99 per month, but you won’t be charged if you cancel within the trial period. There is no contract required, so it’s possible to cancel at any time. If you decide to keep the service, there is an ad-supported and ad-free plan. I briefly explain both below:
- Hulu with commercials ($5.99 per month): This is the least expensive plan Hulu offers. This will allow you to watch the current and all past seasons of The Good Doctor on-demand. This package also provides access to the entire Hulu library; the on-demand Hulu feature providing various TV shows on network TV, cable, and all the Hulu Originals. There are commercials throughout the shows. This plan also allows subscribers to receive 1-year of Hulu for the price of 10 months ($59.99) by switching to annual billing.
- Hulu – commercial-free ($11.99 per month): For another $6 per month, you get Hulu on-demand without commercials. (Due to network arrangements, Grey’s Anatomy, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and How To Get Away With Murder will always have commercials)
