Scott Wolf<\/a> is coming back to Doc<\/em><\/a>! His return for Season 2 has been set.<\/p>\n Wolf is set to reprise his role as Dr. Richard Miller for a multi-episode guest star later this season. He will also direct an episode that will air in early 2026.<\/p>\n Doc<\/em> executive producer Hank Steinberg spoke exclusively to TV Insider about Wolf\u2019s return to the medical drama after Richard left Minneapolis\u2019 Westside Hospital in disgrace last season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will be a surprising dynamic, a new angle, and an interesting, different \u2018way in\u2019 with his return,\u201d Steinberg told us.<\/p>\n In the finale, Miller\u2019s medical license was suspended, and he left his position as chief of medicine after it was discovered he had committed a deadly error and tried to put the blame on his colleague, amnesiac Dr. Amy Larsen (series star Molly Parker<\/a>). So, it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019ll be on the Westside payroll.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Doc<\/em> family adores Scott so much personally. It was so important to us to find a way to bring Scott back. It took us a couple of months to figure out how,\u201d Steinberg said.<\/em> \u201cWe would talk about it almost every two weeks. And we couldn\u2019t quite crack it. And then as the story of the season evolved, it gave us an organic, cool way to bring him back and we embraced it. Fox and Sony were so excited. It\u2019s going to be very cool.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the character\u2019s flaws, fans of the show wanted to see more of Wolf, who many first fell in love with as a responsible teenager stepping up to care for his orphaned siblings on the 1990s Fox hit drama Party of Five<\/em>. \u201cThe audience completely devours him, loves him, is clamoring for him back,\u201d Steinberg shared. \u201cHe was such a dynamic and amazing part of the texture of Doc<\/em> and played the antagonist in such a complicated, interesting, three-dimensional way.\u201d<\/p>\n This time don\u2019t expect the MD to gaslight Amy but don\u2019t count on mea culpas either. Steinberg told us, \u201cWe wanted to do this in a way that would not be repetitive for the dynamic we had last year but would also not have him coming back in this kind of, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m so sorry for what I did.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
