Set in modern-day Hawai‘i, "Doogie Kamealoha, M.D." – a coming-of-age dramedy inspired by the hit medical series “Doogie Howser, M.D.” – follows Lahela “Doogie” Kamealoha, a 16-year-old prodigy juggling a budding medical career and life as a teenager.
With the support of her caring and comical 'ohana (family) and friends, Lahela is determined to make the most of her teenage years and forge her own path.
Guiding Lahela (and also complicating things) is her career-driven mother Dr. Clara Hannon who’s also her supervisor at the hospital, her doting father Benny who helps keep her connected to what matters most, her free-spirited older brother Kai, her gregarious younger brother Brian Patrick, her best friend Steph, her surfer crush Walter and her fellow hospital colleagues, Dr. Lee, Charles and Noelani.
“Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.” is a Disney+ original series produced by 20th Television. Kourtney Kang is creator and executive producer on the series. Melvin Mar, Jake Kasdan, Dayna Bochco, Jesse Bochco, Erin O’Malley, Matt Kuhn, and Justin McEwen also serve as executive producers on the series.
We even got the chance to speak to Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. creator and executive producer, Kourtney Kang and casts Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Matthew Sato, Wes Tian, Jason Scott Lee, Emma Meisel, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Kathleen Rose Perkins and Mapuana Makia as they spill about their characters and what it's like working with each other!
