The Resident has been a middle-of-the-road performer for FOX in the ratings and the network doesn’t have many other scripted drama series so, it’s been renewed year after year. However, if some of the network’s new dramas are successful this season, they could start looking to retire this one. Will The Resident be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A medical drama, The Resident stars Matt Czuchry, Manish Dayal, Bruce Greenwood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Anuja Joshi, Jessica Lucas, and Miles Fowler, with Emily VanCamp, Morris Chestnut, Stephen Wallem, and Glenn Morshower recurring. The series follows a group of doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital, as they face personal and professional challenges on a daily basis. Although its motto is, “Committed to excellence,” the hospital is staffed with human beings, and humans are flawed. The staff includes Chief Resident Conrad Hawkins (Czuchry), resident internist Devon Pravesh (Dayal), cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. AJ Austin (Warner), orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Kit Voss (Leeves), surgical intern Leela Devi (Joshi), neurosurgery resident Billie Sutton (Lucas), neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Cain (Chestnut), and former CEO Dr. Randolph Bell (Greenwood).

What do you think? Do you like The Resident TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
*5/17/22 update: The Resident has been renewed for a sixth season on FOX.
Best show of T.V. Excellent actors.
I think it is a very good show. Great cast and stories. Please don’t cancel.
Who says the Resident is the middle of the road? This is one of the best medical dramas on TV. Why keep making more medical shows? One case on the Resident was exactly what my husband went through. This is a not a BS program. Please don’t cancel it.
My sister and I have never missed an episode of the Resident. Please do not cancel it. We absolutely love this show and all the characters are great and the cases are so real.
LOVE the show & really hope it gets renewed!! I think every season has been very powerful & I like all the actors in the show!
Awesome show. I like the storylines. I don’t like seeing series, but love all the characters and they seem to really get ingrossed with character and their lives in and out of Chastain.
The best compliment that I can give in reference to the diversity in the various nationalities of the cast!!! Everybody can relate from a cultural prospective with one or more of the cast.
Very well done. The director definitely has Skills and knows the trade…didn’t miss a beat!!!
Looking forward to the next season. I’m anxiously waiting!!
I completely agree!!
I enjoy watching the resident. One of my favorite show s. I miss Nickie
Me too, I loved Nickie too
Probably one of the few shows I would miss if it dies. I expect it, therefore, to be cancelled
I remember Matt C in the Good Wife and loved him ever since. I watched the Resident from Season 1, Episode 1 and have never ever missed a show. Heck, sometimes I even watch certain episodes more than once. I love the cast; I hate that VanCamp died; I absolutely love the present FEMALE head of the hospital and I absolutely love how the love of her life went from bad to good. This show has everything but its not racy or prejudicial or judgemental. It is a perfect show; one that I hope lives on forever. I give it… Read more »
They should have had Nic a stay at home mom. That way, if she wanted, she could return to the show
So do I, I watch the show every week & haven’t missed 1 episode
Love this show. I am 72 and never miss it
I have always enjoyed the resident. The stuff regarding the female doctor and her child by a rapist is getting a little old. The race card was again brought into a good tv show, WHY. Got stopped by the police for Driving While Black, give me a break. The officers pulling out his gun and pointing it at the doctor and the female doctors son was not something that would happen in real life. I wish the good tv shows would stop bringing up the race card all the time, it is getting very boring. The show should be renewed.
The Resident is best show on TV. Look forward to it every week. One of the few TV shows I watch.
hate the new additions to the cast, the mehest meh of all the mehs
Renewed
Love love the resident best show on tv.
