Calling all Grey’s Anatomy fans, Good Sam is a new medical drama fronted by Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill, John Tucker Must Die) coming to CBS.
It’s already challenging performing heart surgery — but doing the operation alongside your sarcastic father, who's also your boss, makes it even tougher, as Dr. Sam Griffith (Sophia Bush) knows all too well.
However, when her father falls into a coma, Sam takes on his job as Chief of Surgery.
While her dad remains in a coma, Sam blossoms into her new role. However, her father then wakes up and wants his old job back.
Here’s everything we know about Good Sam…
Will there be a Good Sam season 2?
The Good Sam season 1 finale aired on May 4. All episodes of the CBS medical drama are now available to watch on Paramount Plus and the CBS website, but will there be a Good Sam season 2?
No, Good Sam was cancelled by CBS after just one season.
Good Sam plot
Good Sam focuses on Dr. Griffith (Sophia Bush), a talented heart surgeon who shines as the new Chief of Surgery, after her esteemed boss and father, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Jason Isaacs) falls into a coma.
However, when he wakes up months later, he demands his original job back, forcing Sam to supervise the self-centered specialist who never recognized her expertise and talent.
It makes matters more complicated that he is also her father and constantly defies and challenges Sam’s authority and medical expertise. Will they be able to mend their father and daughter relationship?
Talking about their relationship, Sophia Bush told TV Insider: "Complicated. Griff’s reluctance — his refusal, really — to let Sam out from under him wears on her. And yet he’s the one whose approval she craves. They love each other but it’s painful and aggravating."
Sophia also teased there might be romance ahead for Sam. Although Sam recently had a failed relationship, she's now feeling "increasing romantic energy...".

Is there a trailer?
Yes. You can watch the trailer below. In the trailer, we can see that Dr. Sam is getting increasingly frustrated with Dr. Rob’s comments towards her at work. Dr. Lex Trulie warns Sam to keep her cool at work, saying: "Do not make this personal, Sam".
We also hear Sam voice her annoyance when she says, “It’s like undermining me is a sport for him.” It appears that the workplace is a toxic environment for both Sam and her colleagues, but will she and her father be able to fix that?
