Disney+ also revealed the series' title sequence featuring a new rendition of the iconic "Doogie Howser, M.D." theme song re-imagined and performed by music composer Wendy Wang and world renown ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro.
"Doogie Kamealoha, M.D." - a coming-of-age dramedy inspired by the hit medical series "Doogie Howser, M.D." - follows Lahela "Doogie" Kamealoha, a 16-year-old prodigy juggling a budding medical career and life as a teenager.

Creator and executive producer Kourtney Kang ("How I Met Your Mother," "Fresh Off the Boat") who was born in Hawaii and raised in a Philadelphia suburb by her Irish mom and Korean dad, infuses her own life's stories and experiences into this series that is centered on a mixed-race Asian-American girl.
Peyton Elizabeth Lee ("Andi Mack") stars as the title lead alongside a diverse and talented ensemble cast including Kathleen Rose Perkins ("Big Shot") as Dr. Clara Hannon, Jason Scott Lee ("Mulan") as Benny Kamealoha, Matthew Sato ("Hawaii Five-O") as Kai Kamealoha, Wes Tian as Brian Patrick Kamealoha, Emma Meisel ("American Horror Story") as Steph, Mapuana Makia ("Finding 'Ohana") as Noelani and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman ("UnREAL") as Charles.
