When it comes to hospital dramas, there are plenty of choices for viewers to pick from. Despite the numerous options, rumors about the potential sixth season of New Amsterdam continue to circulate. Here’s the most recent update on what we can confirm.
Despite the short time since New Amsterdam Season 5 was released on Netflix, fans are eagerly anticipating additional episodes.
Despite having Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman, and Jocko Sims as its lead actors, the medical drama has faced mixed reactions from viewers over the course of its five seasons.
Despite its uncertain fate, there has now been solid confirmation about Season 6.
New Amsterdam Season 6
Unfortunately, the show New Amsterdam has been cancelled, resulting in the unfortunate news that there will not be a Season 6.
Despite being disappointing for New Amsterdam fans, there are reasons behind its cancellation.
In March 2022, it was announced that Season 5 of New Amsterdam would be its final season. The number of episodes was reduced to 13, making it the shortest season in the show’s history.
Despite the show’s declining viewership and poor ratings, Executive producer Peter Horton expressed disappointment that New Amsterdam Season 6 was not in the works. In an interview with Deadline, Horton stated, “I still believe the show had the potential to run for a few more years.”
“Despite having countless stories to tell and a plethora of intriguing characters, David’s creations have continued to captivate my interest. His imagination has given birth to a wide range of fascinating characters, and I am eager to learn more about each and every one of them.”
Why was New Amsterdam canceled?
TVLine reports that the low ratings of New Amsterdam Season 6 led to its cancellation. The medical drama saw a decrease of 11-30% in ratings compared to its Season 3 ratings.
Despite its initial high ratings, New Amsterdam’s drastic decline caused the show to drop significantly in the rankings at NBC. It ultimately became the eighth-highest rated drama out of the 11 that NBC was airing during that time.
Despite the negative news for fans of the show, there is a silver lining. In March 2024, it was revealed that a sequel series, New Amsterdam: Tomorrow, was in the works. This new series will continue the story of Max’s daughter, Luna, 30 years after the events of the Season 5 finale.
