As the new head physician aboard a luxury cruise ship, Doctor Odyssey‘s Joshua Jackson will be drowning in medical emergencies — but will he also find love on the boat?
TVLine has an exclusive behind-the-scenes first look at Ryan Murphy’s high-seas ABC drama, which finds Jackson’s Dr. Max Bankman in a compromising position (or two) with Nurse Avery, played by Broadway superstar Phillipa Soo.
“Please don’t tell the captain,” Max playfully whispers to Avery following footage of the two getting hot and heavy. “Oh, I was just about to text him,” she replies with a smile.
ABC debuted the first footage of Doctor Odyssey earlier this a month via an eye-popping promo declaring that Jackson was bringing “big deck energy” to the high seas, all while his character performed CPR on an unconscious patient. So it seems this is a doctor with multiple specialties.
On this ship of dreams (and occasionally nightmares), “the staff works hard and plays harder,” according to ABC’s official synopsis. “It’s all hands on deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”
Jackson told TVLine in May, that the series is “Ryan Murphy at his outrageous, over-the-top best.” He added that the scripts “are written with a lot of joy, and they’re very funny and they move very fast.”
Don Johnson (Miami Vice) and Sean Teale also star in Doctor Odyssey, which premieres on Thursday, Sept. 26. at 9/8c between 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy.

Everything I’ve seen of this show looks cringe-worthy. I’m going to pass.
Of course as too much sex in it. You are still living in mamas basement and anything wilder than bold and the beautiful is too much for you. You need to step outside get real life friends and go out more.
Why the rage Jake D? What’s wrong with you?
Not even close but thanks for letting every one know you have serious issues.
I’m expecting all the implausible hijinks that you get on 9-1-1 and Lonestar, but with the added “eternal Spring Break” mindset of a cruise ship. I already find Murphy’s landlocked rescue dramas a bit much, so I’m not lining up for this one, but hey, if that’s your thing, go for it.
I can’t wait to see Don Johnson and in a Captain’s uniform no less ♥️
Remember Las Vegas on NBC around 20 years ago? Well, Odyssey is that on a cruise ship.
I will check it out to see Don Johnson!
