SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from the season one finale of Doc on Fox. The Fox drama that’s based on an Italian format wrapped its first season Tuesday with a pair of cliffhangers involving Amy (Molly Parker) and Richard (Scott Wolf).

Amy confronts Richard over the mystery surrounding the death of his patient Bill Dixon. (In a flashback, viewers learn that Richard was distracted on the day of Bill’s death because his son was in trouble with police).

Richard is finally held accountable for his actions and is fired at the end of the finale. Meanwhile, Jake (Jon-Michael Ecker) sees Amy and her ex-husband Michael (Omar Metwally) in an embrace and is left wondering about the future of their romance.

Here, Executive Producers Hank Steinberg and Barbie Kligman talk about whether we’ve seen the last of Wolf and what to expect from the series going forward now that Fox has given the series an early, 22-episode Season 2 renewal. DEADLINE Medical shows are enjoying a resurgence right now.
