Doctor Odyssey Canceled at ABC: Cast Member Drops Cryptic Post Hinting at What’s Next!

BBG News

For a while after the final episode of “Doctor Odyssey” aired in May, it was unclear what would happen next with the series on ABC. However, last week, the network ended all options for the cast and canceled the show starring Joshua Jackson, marking the end of its one-season run. This medical drama, which took place aboard a hospital ship, gained a dedicated fan base but ultimately failed to secure new episodes. Following the announcement of the cancellation, one cast member posted a cryptic message on social media that could possibly hint at the show’s demise.

Fans aren’t the only ones who can take show cancellations hard, as they can be devastating for a cast and crew as well. Doctor Odyssey star Sean Teale, who played Nurse Tristan Silva on the show, hasn’t explicitly acknowledged the series’ demise. However, he is seemingly trying to remain optimistic about the future. He recently posted a photo on his Instagram story that contained a famous and hopeful quote from novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, saying:

In any case you mustn’t confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

This quote might be open to various interpretations. It could be a heartfelt response to the cancelled project, with Teale acknowledging that though the Odyssey role may not sail again (pun intended), there are certainly more promising roles ahead. Alternatively, it could simply be a personal motto that Teale embraces. Regardless of its meaning, Teale has every right to be proud of the outstanding work he and his fellow cast members delivered.

On the other hand, enthusiasts might also interpret this statement as a hint towards the possibility of additional episodes for Doctor Odyssey. Back in April, an executive from ABC expressed optimism about the Ryan Murphy-produced medical series potentially returning to the network. Moreover, fans, notably talk show host John Oliver among them, have been highly encouraging and appear eager for the series to carry on.

Previously, some TV series on network channels have been rescued from being taken off the air. A case in point is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which was revived by NBC following its cancellation by Fox, and Lucifer, which found a new home on Netflix after viewers strongly protested its termination by Fox.

Combine the thrill of Hulu and Disney+ for just $10.99 a month, where you can enjoy hit shows like Doctor Odyssey. For an additional cost of $19.99 per month, you can stream ad-free! Check out this deal now.

It’s yet uncertain if Doctor Odyssey will get another opportunity soon. At present, it’s not surprising that fans are grieving, given the open-ended plot twists from the initial season and the potential development of character connections that spectators anticipated for upcoming episodes.

As a movie enthusiast, it’s heartening to observe that Sean Teale remains an advocate for optimism, leaving me eagerly anticipating his future projects. Given Ryan Murphy’s history of working with talented actors repeatedly, I can only hope that he will consider teaming up with Mr. Teale once more in the near future.

The hit series Doctor Odyssey has wrapped up for now, but you can catch every episode by subscribing to Hulu and streaming it at your leisure. Meanwhile, keep an eye on upcoming TV schedules this summer as there’s a lineup of exciting shows in 2025 that are sure to heat things up (a hint at the titles’ popularity).
