‘Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.’: Disney+ Reveals Premiere Date And First Look At Young Prodigy

Peyton Elizabeth Lee is scrubbed in and ready to take on the world as Lahela “Doogie” Kameāloha in the Disney+ series Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., a reboot of the popular ’90s medical drama Doogie Howser, M.D. starring Neil Patrick Harris. The 10-episode comedy will premiere on Sept. 8 with new installments dropping every Wednesday.

Written by Kourtney Kang and set in modern-day Hawaii, Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. follows the adventures of the titular character, a mixed-race 16-year-old girl, juggling a budding medical career and life as a teenager. Guiding Lahela (and also complicating things) is her family, including her spit-fire Irish mother who’s also her supervisor at the hospital, and her Hawaiian “Local Boy” father struggling to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.
