71 Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.: Season 1

Dramedy series debuts September 8 on Disney+

Doogie Howser, M.D., the series that launched the career of a young Neil Patrick Harris in the early 1990s, is back for a new generation in reboot form. This time, Doogie is set in Hawai'i and the young prodigy who begins a medical career as a teenager is an Asian-American girl, played by Peyton Elizabeth Lee (Andi Mack). Jason Scott Lee (Mulan) and Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes) play her parents, and—in the case of the latter—also her boss at the local hospital. The original series was co-created by David E. Kelley and the late Steven Bochco; Kelly is not involved here, but Bochco's widow Dayna and son Jesse are producers on the new show.
