“Everything’s Gonna Be Okay” star Kayla Cromer and “Unsolved” star Wavyy Jonez have joined the cast of “The Good Doctor” for season seven.

The medical drama’s farewell series will premiere next month (February 20), following the departure of Hill Harper and Brandon Larracuente as Dr. Marcus Andrews and Dr. Danny Perez.

ABC has since announced the hiring of two third-year medical students. According to TVLine, Charlene “Charlie” Lukaitis (Cromer) and Dominick “Dom” Hubank (Jonez) will begin their rotation at St. Bonaventure’s Hospital in the second episode of the seventh season.

Charlie is looking forward to her new rotation and the opportunity to work with her hero Dr. Shaun Murphy, played by Freddie Highmore, it is said.

“Like Shaun, she has an autism spectrum disorder and has idolized him since she first saw the viral video of him saving a boy’s life at the San Jose airport. Her passion for surgery is probably only surpassed by her love for Taylor Swift,” the character’s official description reads. An important step for representation: Kayla was also diagnosed with autism in real life.

His third-year colleague, Dom, is “a gentle giant who hoped this surgery would be just a small step on his journey to becoming the primary care physician in his underserved community.”

His description continues: “But this former football player learns he’s not as strong as he seems when he faints at the sight of blood. Too big to fail, Dom must overcome his newfound hemophobia, and he needs his colleague and friend Charlie to help him.”

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that the series “The Good Doctor” would be canceled after the seventh season, shortly after the channel also canceled the legal spin-off “The Good Lawyer.”

“‘The Good Doctor’ was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but now it’s time to say goodbye. We are incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and the message we’ve been a part of,” producers David Shore, Liz Friedman and Erin Gunn said in a statement.

“We look forward to giving our amazing fans, the truly exceptional Freddie Highmore, the rest of our talented cast (and friends), and the best crew in the business the series ending you all deserve.”

The Good Doctor returns on Tuesday, February 20 on ABC in the US and on Sky Witness and NOW in the UK.
