Starring Matt Czuchry, Manish Dayal, Bruce Greenwood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Anuja Joshi, Jessica Lucas, and Miles Fowler, the series follows the lives of the staff of Chastain hospital.
The mid-season finale ended with Conrad Hawkins (Czuchry) sharing test results with Dr. Bell (Greenwood, above, center)). The elder doctor has been experiencing issues impacting him in the operating room in recent episodes. Executive producer Andrew Chapman revealed more about what fans will see next on The Resident:
“It’s definitely medical. It’s definitely going to be an issue that we play going into the future. It’s going to be important for his character and for his soap with [Dr.] Kit [Voss, played by Jane Leeves] and his relationship to Conrad, who obviously will know about it but has been sworn to secrecy. And it will mark sort of a new path for Bell. [There’s] very much a level of drama and stakes really for Bell and where he’s going with his life and how he continues to be a doctor at Chastain. It’s a real thing. We’re definitely going to dive into it.”
What do you think? Are you excited about the return of The Resident on FOX?
Very nice to bad cbc is canceling to many shows
It did not air last night as promised 01/25/2022. I am a full time caregiver for my elderly mom. I have been waiting for a long time for the return of this show. I revolved my entire day yesterday on watching last night. What a disappointment.
I am so excited for this to come back on…I hate waiting, I miss Nic, but she lives on in that beautiful little girl she and Conrad had before she died. I am curious about Conrad’s future.
One of the best shows on TV…..but I miss “Nick”! She and Conrad really sizzled. Eager to get on with the show!
Agree 100%. They could have just gave her time off, or just a small time on the series, why kill her?
Can not wait,absolutely love this show!
Definitely looking forward The Resident’s return. Can’t wait!
Looking forward to another terrific season of The Resident
Great news – such a fantastic show!!
AWESOME!!!
Love this show!! So happy that it’s returning!!
I was upset when Nkcki left but I can understand her reasoning. I wish they hadn’t made it permanent since at some time, she may want to return. I’ve been waiting for the new episodes to return and I want to thank the cast and crew for your hard work to bring us ‘The Resident’. You all are doing a great job
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this show and I am thrilled it’s returning!!!
Love the show can’t wait for it to come back on
