Aside from racking up impressive series premiere ratings (thanks to a special timeslot), The Resident TV show had something of a lackluster freshman outing on FOX. After eking out a second season renewal, can it prove it is just what the doctor ordered? Will The Resident be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A FOX medical drama, The Resident stars Matt Czuchry, Emily VanCamp, Manish Dayal, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Glenn Morshower, and Bruce Greenwood. The series centers on resident Dr. Devon Pravesh (Dayal), as well as Senior Resident Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Czuchry), and their colleagues at the Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. Although its motto is, “Committed to excellence,” the hospital is staffed with human beings, and humans are flawed. Now that Devon is on the other side of the institution’s velvet ropes, Conrad wants him to understand the reality of medicine and its delivery.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like The Resident TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season on FOX?
*3/25/19 update: FOX has renewed The Resident for a third season.
If Greys is around for 14 years, then The Resident should be around for 28 years! The Resident is SOOOO much better than Greys, and that’s coming from a dedicated Greys fan. I really hope it gets picked up for a third season and then some!

i really enjoy this show, but I believe it doesn’t matter what us over 49 think because even though we watch more TV in most cases, even though we purchase plenty of expensive products – WE just don’t count.
I love the resident. Its relatable and it shows how the doctors and nurses we may look at as super heros are normal human beings as well. It is also a plus that the ahow is filmed in my hometown Atlanta, Ga. ☺ Please renew it for season 3.
