Ahead of its Upfront presentation next week, Fox has renewed freshman drama series THE RESIDENT for a second season.
“Amy, Todd and all the producers on THE RESIDENT set out to create a medical show that viewers haven’t seen before – to peel back the curtain and reveal the truth of what happens, both good and bad, behind the scenes at hospitals across the country. Clearly, they’ve succeeded,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Matt, Emily, Bruce, Manish, Shaunette and the show’s entire cast have turned in consistently heartfelt performances, and we are so excited to go back to Chastain Memorial for another tremendous season.”
THE RESIDENT’s penultimate episode is airing tonight (May 7) at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. According to the network, the show is averaging more than 10 million multi-platform viewers per episode, and improves its year-ago time period by +31% in the key Adults 18-49 demographic.
