Nicholas Gonzalez is coming back to television.

Almost a year after his shocking exit from The Good Doctor, the 45-year-old actor has joined NBC’s upcoming drama series, La Brea.

The series will center on a massive sinkhole opening up in L.A., and separates a mother (Natalie Zea) and son from her husband (Eoin Macken) and daughter.

“When part of the family find themselves in an unexplainable primeval world, alongside a disparate group of strangers, they must work to survive and uncover the mystery of where they are and if there is a way back home,” the official synopsis reads.

According to TV Line, Nicholas will play the husband’s best friend Levi Brooks, an Air Force pilot who is recruited to lead the mission to save the people who fell into the sinkhole.

Nicholas isn’t the only one who has joined the series. Rohan Mirchandaney will also be part of the cast and portray tour guide Scott, who uses humor to lighten up serious situations.

Last year, fans were outraged that Nicholas‘ Dr. Neil Melendez’s fate on The Good Doctor. Read all the reactions here…

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!

Fans aren’t happy about how Dr. Neil Melendez‘s story was wrapped up on the season finale of The Good Doctor.

In fact, they’re furious about how the character, played by Nicholas Gonzalez, was killed off.

Nick opened up to TVLine about saying goodbye to the character and show, revealing it was a mutual decision and there are no hard feelings.

“[It] just kind of came at a good time, you know? There’s a lot about this job that I loved and was honored to do, and a lot of that came out of the family that we created behind the scenes,” he explained. “But there also comes a time when you feel it’s time to move on, and I feel like I’m leaving Good Doctor at a really great place.”

While it was a mutual decision, fans have been voicing their outrage at having him leave on social media.

“This some straight BS if Melendez die. Who at the network decided this mess? #TheGoodDoctor,” one tweeted.

Another added that they’re not convinced of his death just yet.

“Ok..so here is what I find odd. They show Claire coming out of Melendez’s room, but nobody called time of death, and they never even covered up his body with the sheet. Plus they left the door wide opened..I’m not convinced he’s dead…there. ..I Said it. #TheGoodDoctor”
