Doctor Odyssey Midseason Premiere Trailer Introduces Agents Of SHIELD Star As A New Doctor Who Causes Tension Between Max & Avery

The latest midseason premiere trailer for ABC’s Doctor Odyssey introduces an Agents of SHIELD star for the series' two-part sharksploitation event. The luxury cruise ship drama blends medical crises with high-seas adventure, and recently left off with a major cliffhanger for the small, but mighty crew after Avery reveals she's pregnant and doesn't know whether Max (Joshua Jackson) or Tristan (Sean Teale) is the father. With the new episodes set to air on March 6, Doctor Odyssey's midseason premiere is doubling down on tension, drama, and lots of sharks.

Now, ABC has released a new midseason premiere trailer featuring Agents of SHIELD's Adrianne Palicki as trauma surgeon Dr. Brooke Lane, who joins The Odyssey’s medical staff to complicate an already tangled web of emotions. After Avery stumbles upon a precarious moment between Max and Dr. Lane, the trio must set aside their tensions to handle the ship’s latest crisis when Monroe (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) suffers a shark bite, prompting the crew to embark on a harrowing rescue mission in shark-infested waters. Watch the full video below:

What Doctor Odyssey’s New Doctor Means

A New Rivalry On Board The Odyssey

Dr. Lane’s arrival comes at a crucial moment, shaking up Doctor Odyssey’s romantic entanglements. As Max and Avery struggle with unresolved feelings following their threesome with Tristan, Captain Massey ominously remarks, "Sharks are territorial, they hold grudges." With Avery still uncertain about the father of her child, Dr. Lane’s presence adds yet another complication that could draw Max’s attention and further strain their already fragile relationship.

Dr. Lane brings a commanding presence on board The Odyssey, much like Palicki's role as Bobbi Morse in the Marvel series. Known for portraying strong, no-nonsense characters, her addition to the cast suggests that Lane—whether a romantic complication or not—may also challenge Max professionally, setting the stage for fresh conflicts in the medical unit.

Regardless of Avery's pregnancy dilemma, the midseason premiere amps up the action with its two-part shark attack event, marking Doctor Odyssey's most ambitious storyline yet. Continuing the series' over-the-top drama, Monroe suffers a shark bite while a perilous rescue in shark-infested waters brings Max face to face with the dangerous predator. With returning guest stars like Shania Twain and Paris Jackson adding even more star power, the ABC series is setting itself up for a wild and unpredictable second half of its freshman season.

Doctor Odyssey is the kind of show that thrives on throwing everything at its characters, such as love triangles, medical emergencies, and now, literal sharks. Palicki's Dr. Lane is sure to bring both star power and a compelling new dynamic to an already fiery cast of the Ryan Murphy show. Whether it's Avery’s love life, Monroe’s shark attack, or a dramatic rescue at sea,Doctor Odyssey is proving that it's only getting wilder, and we’re here for every second of it.
