Production
In May 2014, CBS Television Studios began development on an American remake of the hit South Korean medical drama Good Doctor with Daniel Dae Kim as producer. Kim explained the appeal of adapting the series as "something that can fit into a recognizable world with a breadth of characters that can be explored in the long run". The story of an autistic pediatric surgeon was to be set in Boston, and projected to air in August 2015, but CBS did not pick up the project, and it moved to Sony Pictures Television with a put pilot commitment from ABC in October 2016. The series was developed by David Shore who is credited as executive producer alongside Kim, Sebastian Lee and David Kim. ABC officially ordered the series to pilot in January 2017.

On May 11, 2017, ABC ordered to series as a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios, and it was officially picked up for a season of 18 episodes on October 3, 2017.
