The medical drama gets nine more episodes.
October 10, 2018
Fox today topped up the sophomore season of The Resident, ordering an additional nine episodes to bring its total to 22 - a full season's worth. The good news comes three episodes into the current season, which is so far off to a solid start.
The medical drama premiered early this year as a mid-season entry with a 14-episode run. After a strong showing, the network opted to move it into its regular fall lineup for the 2018-2019 season. The move appears to be paying off thus far, as the show has been garnering consistent viewership in its Monday night time slot with ratings on-par with what it brought in during Season 1.
The Resident stars Matt Czuchry as a senior resident and Emily VanCamp as a nurse practitioner at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. The series brings to light the hard truths about modern-day medicine - both good and bad. Some lives are saved while others are lost, but expectations will always be shattered.

I'm not a fan of medical dramas. Never have been BUT damn this show is good. I actually first got into The Good Doctor and that show was my first medical drama show so I decided to give the resident a shot and now resident is one of my favorite shows in TV right now period.

Yeah! Even with great shows like this one I don't allow myself to even slightly expect a pickup or renewal. When it comes anyway, just yeah! The pilot grabbed me, and the rest of the episodes never let me down.
If you haven't watched the Resident, give it a try. It is well cast, and the characters are well written.

One of the best shows on TV! Beats out a lot of the veteran medical drama shows on other stations (Grey's).

One of the best ever performances by Emily vancamp other than revenge of course. I love all characters involved in this show. So glad it has a full pick up
