The first two seasons of New Amsterdam did so well in the ratings that NBC gave it a 3 season pickup. However, as the show went on, the viewers didn’t stay with it. Because of that, NBC decided that the 5th season will be its last, according to Deadline. To make matters worse for the fans, like me, who stayed with the medical drama that stars Ryan Eggold, the final season will only be 13 episodes.
While I am not happy with NBC’s decision, I understand why they did. Whoever came up with the idea to have Max (Eggold) leave the hospital to follow love, made a bad decision. It turned the one medical show that was unlike all the other ones and made it like Grey’s Anatomy and Chicago Med. I have to admit, I have been struggling to watch it this season because they took the heart out of New Amsterdam.
