David Schulner's medical drama returns for its fifth and final season.
The subject of healthcare systems that pay little attention to individual needs was always a theme that would resonate among viewers all over the world. For four seasons, NBC’s medical drama New Amsterdam has held viewers spellbound with the story of Dr. Max Goodwin Ryan Eggol
and his unflinching commitment to a patient-centered approach to medical service delivery. His fellow doctors their patients, and the never ending politics surrounding New Amsterdam hospital have made for entertaining viewing.
New Amsterdam was created by David Schulner and directed by Peter Horton. The story is based on the book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer who also doubles as a producer on the show. Peter Horton and David Schulner are Executive Producers alongside Kate Dennis David Foster Michael Slovis, Shaun Cassidy, and Aaron Ginsburg.
One of the biggest developments around New Amsterdam Season 5 is that Freema Agyeman who has played Dr. Helen Sharpe since the shows debut will not be returning to the show. This piece of information has left fans of the show distraught. Any chances of her character getting back together is well and truly dashed. The decision of her character Helen to leave Max standing at the altar, pulling off a shocking no-show for their wedding is one of the cliffhangers at the end of Season 4 which left a lot of fans less than impressed. Agyeman made a post on Instagram this past July addressing her abrupt exit from the series.
