The medical series The Good Doctor is experiencing a new wave of popularity in Brazil at the beginning of 2026, thanks to its arrival on Netflix’s catalog. However, fans who wish to follow the complete story of Dr. Shaun Murphy, played by Freddie Highmore, need to turn to another service. While Netflix offers only the first four seasons, Globoplay holds the streaming rights to all seven seasons of the production, including the anticipated fifth season. This catalog division occurs due to pre-existing licensing agreements, which creates a common situation in today’s streaming market.
The renewed success on Netflix is evident, as the series reached the sixth position among the platform’s most popular content, surpassing even established hits. Therefore, many viewers were eager to continue the journey of the young surgeon with autism. To legally watch the following seasons, a complementary Globoplay subscription is required. This way, the Brazilian audience has access to the complete narrative, which follows Shaun’s professional and personal challenges at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
How to access all seasons in Brazil
To dive into the complete story of The Good Doctor, viewers need an active Globoplay subscription. The platform currently offers two main plans for access via app or website. Furthermore, the service is also distributed as part of promotional packages from some telephone operators, such as Claro, Vivo, and TIM. The costs and conditions of these packages vary according to the operator and the plan contracted by the customer, offering an alternative for those who are already subscribers of these companies.
The series, originally launched by ABC in 2017, won over the public by mixing complex medical cases with deep character development. Shaun Murphy is not only a surgical genius but also a man learning to navigate the complexities of human relationships. With seven seasons already produced, the plot offers extensive content for the new fans gained through Netflix. Thus, the catalog strategy divides viewers between two platforms, a clear reflection of the competitiveness in the streaming market in 2026.
