It’s Ryan Murphy Thursday on ABC, because after 9-1-1‘s highly-anticipated Season 8 premiere, Murphy’s new procedural Doctor Odyssey sets sail for its debut season, starring Joshua Jackson, Phillipa Soo, Sean Teale, and Don Johnson on board.
Per ABC’s official Doctor Odyssey synopsis, “Max (Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”
In addition to starring in the series, Jackson and Johnson also serve as executive producers. And if you’re still on the fence about tuning in, just know that Doctor Odyssey’s trailer set a new record, amassing over 77.8 million views in 48 hours, so, uh, yeah — it’s kind of a big deal!
Wondering when Doctor Odyssey premieres on ABC? What time you can watch Joshua Jackson and crew set sail? Or how to watch Doctor Odyssey‘s series premiere live and online? We’ve got answers!
Here’s everything you need to know about Doctor Odyssey‘s first episode.
Clear your calendars, Joshua Jackson and Ryan Murphy fans. Doctor Odyssey sets sail with its exciting premiere on Thursday, September 26.
As noted, Doctor Odyssey will be on after the 9-1-1 Season 8 premiere, which means Doctor Odyssey airs in ABC’s 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET slot on Thursday, September 26.
Want to watch Doctor Odyssey‘s series premiere live? Of course you do — it’s a Ryan Murphy procedural, people! If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can watch Doctor Odyssey live by setting your TV to the proper channel at 9:00 p.m. ET. You can also use your cable username and password to watch live ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing.
No cable? No worries! There are several other live viewing options, such as live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. And if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can always stream episodes of Doctor Odyssey the following day on Hulu. Here’s how!
You’ll need to be a Hulu subscriber in order to watch new episodes of Doctor Odyssey the day after they air on ABC. The good news is you’ll have access to the episode with any version of the streaming service. The streamer’s least expensive ad-supported plan costs $7.99 a month (or $79.99 a year), while its ad-free option is $17.99 a month. If you choose to add Live TV to your plan you can select an ad-supported Hulu + Live TV now with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for $76.99 a month or go ad-free for $89.99 a month.
New episodes of Doctor Odyssey air Thursdays on ABC, which means they’ll be available to stream on Hulu starting Fridays. New episodes typically hit the streaming platform at 3:01 a.m. or 5:00 a.m., but we’ll have to wait until the Doctor Odyssey landing page shows upcoming episodes to know exact timing.
You bet! If you didn’t account for one of the 78 million views in the first 48 hours of the Doctor Odyssey trailer (or perhaps you just want to watch again!) you can get a first look at the new medical drama in the video located at the top of this article.
