Only six episodes: SWR explains why the first season of “The Not Doctor” is so short. “Die Bergretter” (broadcast on ZDF) even have eight episodes, ‘Die Notarztin’ ends after just six episodes.
The low number of episodes seems to have something to do with the ARD's programming and the production effort of the series. It is still unclear whether there will be a second season of "The Emergency Doctor" – but fans are pushing for a sequel.
