What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, The Resident TV show stars Matt Czuchry, Manish Dayal, Bruce Greenwood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Anuja Joshi, Jessica Lucas, Miles Fowler, Kaley Ronayne, and Andrew McCarthy. 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), veteran doctor Randolph Bell (Greenwood), neurosurgery resident Billie Sutton (Lucas), surgical intern Leela Devi (Joshi), emergency doctor Kincaid “Cade” Sullivan (Ronayne), renowned pediatric surgeon Ian Sullivan (McCarthy), and CEO Dr. Kit Voss (Leeves).
Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of The Resident averaged a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.77 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 19% in the demo and down by 11% in viewership. 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 the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Resident stacks up against other FOX TV shows.
The Resident has been cancelled, so there won’t be a seventh season. Could the show be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will FOX cancel or renew The Resident for season seven? Last season, the series was supposedly almost cancelled. The ratings are middle-of-the-road, and FOX doesn’t own the show, so they don’t make as much money from it. The network is focusing on owning the shows it airs so I suspect this year could be the final one for The Resident, at least on FOX. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
