While most shows were down in the ratings, The Resident series on FOX actually saw an increase in viewership. It was still a middle-of-the-road performer for the network but the increase in viewership likely helped the show land a renewal. Will the numbers continue to rise this year or, will they fall? Will The Resident be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A FOX medical drama, The Resident stars Matt Czuchry, Bruce Greenwood, Manish Dayal, Emily VanCamp, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, and Morris Chestnut. 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. In the third season, the doctors are surrounded by new rules and physicians, as Red Rock Mountain Medical takes over the hospital. The staff includes senior resident internist Conrad Hawkins (Czuchry), resident internist Devon Pravesh (Dayal), nurse practitioner Nicolette Nevin (VanCamp), surgical resident Mina Okafor (Wilson), cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. AJ Austin (Warner), orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Kit Voss (Leeves), neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Cain (Chestnut), and 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 fourth season?
*5/19/20 update: The Resident has been renewed for a fourth season on FOX.
Please please don’t cancel this show! It’s my absolute favorite!
The Resident is one of the most underrated series on TV. Great writers and outstanding actors! Please don’t cancel this show! The network will interrupt The Resident with sports events and sometimes that makes following it a little more difficult. Please renew this!
Renew the series… great cast
Please dont cancel The Resident. One of the best shows on tv. There could be thousands of people not doing the Neilson ratings who watch it. All my friends & family do, thanks to me telling them how much I love it.
The Resident is our favorite show! The characters are well cast ! Good writing. Morris Chestnut (character)is such a horrible person!
Please renew. I love this show. All of the characters are great.
Please renew!!!
Love love love this show!!! Please renew for another ten seasons k thanks.
I absolutely love the resident. I started off watching the good doctor then the resident came out. I don’t miss an episode of the resident and if I do I watch it on demand when it becomes available.
3/10 episode wasn’t one of their better shows.
The resident is the best show i believe fox has ever had, followed close by 911. I would definitely never tune to fox again if it was cancelled
Love The Resident more interesting then Greys Anatomy, hope it renews for season 4.
I am In SA, and I cant wait for the next season as season 3 ended with and important climax. This series NEEDS TO STAY
I LOVE this show. Ratings might be better in another night. Tuesday is not good. You won’t win against NBC’S This is us and the voice and new Amsterdam. Do not get to watch the Resident until Wednesday on Hulu. Please please keep it on and try another day like Monday Wednesday or thursday
Our thoughts exactly! Switch the night.Please keep this show on the air!3
Not mondays. Then it would be up against the Batchelor type shows that have a big following.
The Resident is such a great show with a stellar cast, I wish FOX hadn’t moved it away from their original Monday timeslot. The viewership is down because it’s in a much more competitive timeslot, and it stinks. FOX, please renew it for another season or more, and put it back on Mondays with 9-1-1.
