Sigh. Well? Another one of my primetime guilty pleasures just went right out the window. Or maybe it sank to the bottom of the sea. ABC has officially canceled Doctor Odyssey after just one season, and this news is such a huge bummer, I really don't even know how to process it.
The medical drama, starring Joshua Jackson as the beyond-hot-AF ship's doctor, Max Bankman, and Don Johnson as the Odyssey's captain, Robert Massey, wasn't exactly the most riveting thing on TV, but man, it was such a fun weekly watch.
According to Variety, the cast's contracts expire on Monday, and the series will not be coming back to ABC's schedule.
So I guess this is it. The last episode, "The Wave" was, well... the LAST episode.
Honestly, maybe we should've anticipated this? Let's consider how the finale of season one left things.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
While most shows end with some sort of unfinished business or cliffhanger, things kind of came full circle on Doctor Odyssey.
Captain Massey was reinstated as the head of the ship. Dr. Max made it safely back on board after being stranded after an earthquake in Mexico triggered a tsunami. Avery (Phillipa Soo) realized she really does love Max and wants to be with him even though she's headed to medical school. And Tristan (Sean Teale) was totally cool with the whole thing and didn't make a stink about her choosing Max over him.
So. In essence, that last episode set things up for an impending cancellation. Womp womp.
Needless to say, I'm not the only one who's disappointed with the news that I won't be setting sail from my couch this fall.
Other fans of the show took to social media to voice their opinions on the show's departure.
They really cancelled Doctor Odyssey and I feel personally attacked.Yeah, it was chaotic. Yeah, it didn’t always make sense. But it had heart and in the end, I weirdly loved every minute of it. I’m gonna miss this messy, unserious emotional gem. #DoctorOdyssey #cancelledtvshow pic.twitter.com/mrDAb9OhJG
— TV & Movie Addict (@TVMovieAddict) June 28, 2025That tweet sums things up perfectly. Was it a deep, intense show that left you on the edge of your seat and made you ponder your life's choices? No. But was it a fun, light-hearted, no-brainer you could successfully watch while scrolling TikTok at the same time? Yes.
Here's another gem I just can't resist sharing.

Another fan boldly declared on X, "I'm genuinely so fu----g devastated. As unhinged as this show was, it gave me so much joy and deserves another season."
And someone else said, "I'm so sad! What a bummer. What a fun show that didn't take itself so seriously."
I guess there are quite a few of us who will need to find a new guilty pleasure show to watch going forward. Anyone have good suggestions? (Please send 'em my way.)
