FOX Renews Freshman Medical Drama The Resident

FOX has ordered a second season of The Resident, a medical drama starring Matt Czuchry (The Good Wife) and Emily VanCamp (Revenge).

The Resident is currently averaging more than 10 million multiplatform viewers per episode on FOX. Season one wraps next Monday, May 14.

Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, the series’ executive producers include Todd Harthan (Rosewood), Amy Holden Jones (Mystic Pizza, Indecent Proposal), Rob Corn (Grey’s Anatomy), Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw, Training Day), David Boorstein (Level 26: Dark Revelations), Oly Obst (The Mick, Ghosted) and Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, The Bone Collector), who also directed the pilot.

“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, the president of entertainment at 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.”
