Doctor Kamealoha is making a return trip to Disney+, now that her show has officially been given a second season. Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., a reboot of the Neil Patrick Harris series Doogie Howser, M.D., made its debut on Disney+ this past year and quickly became a favorite amongst subscribers. The Season 1 finale of Doogie Kamealoha was released on the streaming service on November 10th, leaving fans wondering if there would ever be a second installment. Fortunately, those worries have been eliminated.
