All good things must come to an end. The Resident has been canceled at Fox after six seasons.
Viewers have said their final goodbye to the doctors and nurses at Chasten Memorial Hospital, the network revealed on Thursday, April 6. The series, which premiered in January 2018, followed Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins as he faced personal and professional challenges while fighting for his patient’s health. Bruce Greenwood (Dr. Randolph Bell), Manish Dayal (Dr. Devon Pravesh), Malcolm-Jamal Warner (Dr. AJ Austin), Jane Leeves (Dr. Kit Voss), Jessica Lucas (Dr. Billie Sutton), Anuja Joshi (Leela Devi) and Miles Fowler (Trevor) also starred.

At the time, executive producer Andrew Chapman told TV Insider that he likely wouldn’t know the show’s fate until April or May.
