Watch The Good Doctor On Demand

Every episode from every season of The Good Doctor is available on Hulu On-Demand. There is even a 30-day Free Trial, which is time to squeeze in quite a few episodes. All episodes of The Good Doctor seasons 1 – 5 so far are available to stream now, and new episodes appear on Hulu the day after they air on ABC. The Hulu on-demand service starts at $6.99 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 ($6.99): 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.
• Hulu – commercial-free ($12.99): This plan provides 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)
