The Resident Renewed for Season 2 at FOX
As The Resident nears the end of its first season, FOX announced today that the medical drama series has been renewed for Season 2.
It’s exciting news, and we’ve even listed several reasons we were hoping for a renewal early in the 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,” Thorn continued.
The Resident is produced by 20th Century Fox Television.
Todd Harthan, Amy Holden Jones, Rob Corn, Antoine Fuqua, David Boorstein, Oly Obst, and Phillip Noyce serve as executive producers for the series.
The series stars Matt Czuchry, Bruce Greenwood, Manish Dayal, Emily VanCamp, Moran Atias, Merrin Dungey, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and Melina Kanakaredes.
At present, The Resident 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.
