What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, 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 Max 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.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of New Amsterdam averaged a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.82 million viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 16% in the demo and down by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). 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. Find out how New Amsterdam stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
New Amsterdam has ended, so there won’t be a sixth season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Do you wish that the New Amsterdam TV show had been renewed for a sixth season? Are you disappointed that this NBC series is ending?
Yes definitely series 6 is a must
The series should continue. I would love to see it renewed!
The series finale wasn’t even that good.
New Amsterdam needs to be continued. Very confusing end. Max was happy with tge Dr abd now everything disappears. Should continue for season 6
Please bring back New Amsterdam. Love this show and would love to see it renewed.
Who in their infinite wisdom, not only cancels a great medical drama, but leaves it on that final scene. I think this was a huge mistake on their part and frankly with this cancelation; I’m done with NBC.
New Amsterdam’s lucky they even got a season 5, considering the mess that was season 4. NBC should have cancelled it long ago. It hasn’t been decent since season 2.
Please bring back New Amsterdam! It’s one of the few TV shows I watch. I look forward to seeing it every week.
NBC has a habit of cancelling good, creative, challenge the way things are, brilliant shows. It has done it in the past, will do so again. Just letting down viewers…
Please please bring it back somehow! Season 6 with Helen!
This is one of the best…why cut it and keep on the shows that are stupid..dumb…an embarrassment! This one deals with real life issues in life and in the health care system…The writers lost their direction and had MAX off on unrealistic tangents, but finally got back to the topics that are noteworthy/make people FEEL…
Bring it back…forget Helen…but challenge writers to do it justice…it is one of my favorites!!
I really love New Amersterdam. Max is just too loveable and has such creativity and determination. I am SO disappointed it’s being cancelled. I look forward to the show every week. I don’t know when the decision to cancel the show was made, but I can say that the storyline last season was off course. It didn’t belong. Max shouldn’t be ready for a relationship yet. He’s too focused on New Amersterdam. He would never leave the hospital or his position. That was a disappointment, and it was all downhill from there with Helen, whom he didn’t belong with either.… Read more »
Netflix cancels their own shows after only 1 or 2 seasons. They’re not in the business of “saving” shows anymore.
the scripwritters are lousy , the storyline is recycled because of lack inspiration. it’s time to end this mess
So disappointed New Amsterdam is in its final season. I love the show.
So disappointed to see this show ending. I think that series 5 is taking the drama back on track. The show is unique because it highlights real social issues that society faces. I think it should be renewed.
I’m disappointed New Amsterdam is ending after this season. I love this show. A great scape
