Joshua Jackson Responds to John Oliver’s Campaign Amid Doctor Odyssey Season 2 Uncertainty

John Oliver publicly campaigned for the renewal of ABC's medical dramedy Doctor Odyssey, starring Joshua Jackson, highlighting the show's unique and entertaining premise as "sexy ER on a boat" and expressing frustration that it had not yet been picked up for a second season. Oliver's humorous and impassioned plea, which aired on his show Last Week Tonight, brought significant attention to the series and sparked renewed interest among fans and media. Joshua Jackson responded appreciatively to Oliver's support, stating that being featured on the show was a career milestone for him, regardless of whether Doctor Odyssey is renewed. The show, produced by Ryan Murphy, remains in limbo, with ABC yet to make an official decision on its future, leaving fans hopeful but uncertain. Industry observers note that a renewal announcement is unlikely before the fall schedule is finalized, possibly delaying any continuation until early next year. Oliver's involvement has amplified the conversation around the show's fate, underscoring the anxiety and anticipation that often accompany first-season renewals in television.
