We don’t have to wonder if the New Amsterdam series will be cancelled this time. NBC has already announced that season five is the end. Will the execs regret not greenlighting a sixth season, or is this a good time to end New Amsterdam? Stay tuned.
A medical drama series, the New Amsterdam TV show stars Ryan Eggold, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Tyler Labine, and Sandra Mae Frank, with Michelle Forbes, John McGinty, Gina Gershon, Frances Turner, 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; cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Sims); psychiatrist Dr. Iggy Frome (Labine); and Dr. Elizabeth Wilder (Frank), a deaf surgeon and the chief of oncology. In season five, Max is back at the helm of New York City’s busiest public hospital.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

For comparisons: Season four of New Amsterdam on NBC averaged a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.20 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the New Amsterdam TV series on NBC? Are you sorry that there won’t be a sixth season?
They killed the show by going woke last season.
They had been going woke since season 2. Not a surprise it got cancelled.
Worse ending for a great show. All characters had lives wrapped up with no surprises. EXCEPT for MAX and Dr Wilder. Even Luna got her ending which was a nice touch.
I love the show and wish there would be another season.
I think it terrible that the show has been cancelled. season 4 was off, but season 5 has made a comeback in my opinion. Max is at his best when he is being the medical director and at his worst getting into relationships he just wasn’t ready for or needed. I think it earned a reprisal and a season 6. I think the producers should give the show a chance to let Max get back into his groove as medical director. I love the show.
Do not cancel New Amsterdam it is one of the best programs has the best content and meaningful informative information. The actors are fabulous. Why don’t you cancel some reality game shows that are nonsensical uninformative and ridiculous.
Still, remember the first season I WAS A HUGE FAN. Now the lack of imagination and coherence of the writers has destroyed this show. Is there a captain in this boat that has been sailing at sight for 5 episodes now? Deja vu in every episode, recycled storylines, no credibility, and a total mess. What a mess.
Well said and agree totally – excellent post and succinct summary
