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?
A truly incredible cast. Talent personified !!! New Amsterdam should be on another 10 years, minimum. The scripts are excellent and we religiously tune in every Tuesday night . There is little to nothing on TV today which appeals to mature adults who become faithful viewers !!! We wind up watching shows with little quality in. their scripts or casts. HBO has become our Go To when seeking talent.
PLEASE, revive New Amsterdam, maybe in an earlier time slot !!??.
We LOVE New Amsterdam and don’t say that about many really great shows. We are so upset that the show is over. Maybe the democraphic of 0ver 65 yr olds doesn’t count.
This is a great show and i hope someway somehow that they decide to bring it back for a 6th, 7th and possibly 8th season.
They should continue it on Peacock. I think has excellent writing/acting. Characters and stories are awesome and dare I say informative.
With all of the junk that is on TV, New Amsterdam is one of the best ones. i will miss all of the dynamic characters and the ingenuity that makes Max. Bring it back!
I love New Amsterdam and will miss this series very much. I was worried when Max moved to England but he moved back and that was excellent. Always excellent watching.
This was the BEST show- soooo disappointed it is ending!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL NEW AMSTERDAM!! I think it’s the best show ever!! I have a lot of years of experience with the show’s on TV. I’m 78 years old. It is so well written, well acted, and informative. The characters so well told. I know you have to go with numbers. But numbers don’t have to cancel the rest of the population, not just certain age groups. The rest of us WAIT for it to resume. PLEASE!!!!!
I really enjoyed this show a lot! I think it should be renewed and given a chance. I never missed an episode, just had to record it when I had Dish and now I watch it on Roku, since I work 3rd shift. I loved the story line and all the characters.
Really enjoy the show . best program on Tuesday night
Loved this show. Max made the show. I hope they bring it/him back.
Don’t let a good thing die. This is one great show and deserves to carry on. Only hope more viewers will agree It’s the only hope.
New Amsterdam is a very good medical show I love it. The day it comes on I watch the Resident and then New Amsterdam. Please, please renew it, I would be so said if you cancel it. Please renew it.
Please don’t take it off I have been watch from day one I think what hurt the show is watching so long about about six or seven shows., it takes to long to bring it back and people forgets them .I think its one of the best. Try and keep it on.
I have a really bad issue with the character that Michelle Forbes is playing. I know shows have to make there show interesting but you have to get her off the show. I did not like her on Chicago Fire and I really am Disturbed that she is on new amsterdam. I’m just not going to watch New Amsterdam any more until you get her off the show because I just can’t take it any more. Please get her off!
Don’t stop watching, just continue hating her. I believe it won’t be long until she’s gone.
No no no do not cancel New Amsterdam love this series and have following this series from the beginning
