Has 'Doctor Odyssey' been renewed yet? How to watch Part 1 of the two-part season finale (2025)

A tsunami? Sure, why not! How else could we end the first (and possibly only) season of ABC’s best unserious dramedy, Doctor Odyssey?

16 episodes of shark attacks, threesomes, pregnancy scares — and real pregnancies — have all led to this moment as The Odyssey sets out on the first of its two-part final voyage of Season 1. It’s going to be a doozy.

After Episode 16 (“Double-Booked”) ended with Dr. Max (Joshua Jackson) confessing that he is in love with Avery (Phillipa Soo) with just weeks left to go until she heads off to medical school, any fan with half a brain could see this would go over like a lead balloon in the final episodes. As for how Avery will react — i.e. will she make a similar admission back or will she flee the ship to get away from this love-bombing weirdo — that is still to be determined. Although, a description for Episode 17, “The Wave,” makes us think it might be closer to the ladder than the former. We’ll just have to see when this week’s episode airs.
