It sounds like Max will be looking for a new position after the 2022-23 season. It’s been revealed that the New Amsterdam series will be ending with its upcoming fifth season of 13 episodes. The NBC show’s fourth season will resume on Tuesday, April 19th.
A medical drama series, the New Amsterdam TV show stars Ryan Eggold, Janet Montgomery, Freema Agyeman, Jocko Sims, and Tyler Labine, with Michelle Forbes, Sandra Mae Frank, Shiva Kalaiselvan, and Chloe Freeman in recurring roles. Doctor Max Goodwin (Eggold) is a caring physician whose goal is to fix a broken medical system and to provide exceptional care to the people who need it most. He inspires (almost) everyone around him, and will stop at nothing to breathe new life into the understaffed, underfunded, and underappreciated New Amsterdam Medical Center. Those working with Goodwin include Dr. Lauren Bloom (Montgomery), the head of the ER; oncologist Dr. Helen Sharpe (Agyeman); cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Sims); and psychiatrist Dr. Iggy Frome (Labine).
The fourth season of New Amsterdam averages a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.25 million viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 19% in the demo and down by 10% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). The series gains quite a bit in the live+7 day ratings, averaging a 0.73 in the demo with 6.18 million. That’s a gain of 95% and 90%, respectively.
New Amsterdam was renewed for three seasons back in 2020 and the fifth season will complete that order.
“The story of Max Goodwin, and his never-ending commitment to patients at New Amsterdam, has been inspiring,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Programming, NBCUniversal Television & Streaming, according to Deadline. “We’re so grateful to David Schulner, Peter Horton, and our cast and crew for their incredible dedication, talent and collaboration.”
Though New Amsterdam is ending, Eggold has already signed a first-look deal with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, to develop projects across various platforms.
What do you think? Have you been keeping up with the New Amsterdam TV series? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a sixth season or, is five years a good time to end it?
I’ve loved this show from the beginning. Please reconsider not canceling it. Please bring it back. I look forward to watching it every week. I love the story lines.
I always say that the best shows are the ones they cancel especially when there is a crucial storyline. This is another good show disappearing. I feel lost.
Well said!
Used to enjoy this in S01 & S02, then the writers decided every episode had to be a lecture on some topic of millennial correctness, triggering or some other commentary on societies problems, thankfully I guess someone realised that error and started to correct course, but not before the bulk of the audience like myself lost the will to tune in anymore. A TV show should be entertainment, not a social experiment on how far you can push political and social commentary in every instalment, being frustrated and annoyed by a storyline is not a positive reaction to get even… Read more »
I love this show. When they moved to England, my husband told me, it is over. He only wanted 5 seasons.
I am angry MAX.You broke my heart
Another great show is ending too soon. The writing is sharp and the actors are great. With all the hospital shows on tv, New Amsterdam ranks at the top of the list. We will be sure to catch all the final season.
Totally agree!
Greybeard48, your first sentence sums it up perfectly. Another great show ending too soon. So disappointed there won’t be a Season 6, or 7, 8, 9, 10… I love medical dramas (the only ones I DON’T watch are “Good Sam” and “Grey’s Anatomy”). NBC still has two excellent medical dramas, “Chicago Med” and “Transplant,” but I’ll miss Dr. Max & Co., just as I missed “ER” when it got cancelled.
Another great show bites the dust for ratings! Shame on you!
Maybe part of the problem is we never know when it’s going to be on!!!
I think this is a BIG loss!! I cannot wait till it is on every week. Definitely my favorite show!
Love the show but am glad everyone is back together again
Yes, I am truly disappointed that this show is ending on it’s 5th season. It’s a gigantic loss.
I think that this show has lot of merit in humanitarianism and I hate to see it go.
I’ve been a big fan of the show since the beginning, and loved all the cast members. I’m very sorry it is ending.
I’m very disappointed. One of the better medical shows on tv.
I think viewership was lost during season 3 because the writers went so politically correct with each episode viewers tuned out and didn’t return. Too bad, because the PC failed experiment stopped this year and was back to the old New Amsterdam. Let’s hope a streaming service picks up the show.
Amen to that! Netflix?
I will miss New Amsterdam. I have 3 shows that I look forward to watching and New Amsterdam is one of them. I am very disappointed and sad that it will end in Season 5
