Fans of the hit medical drama in the UK can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as the highly anticipated season 5 is now available on Netflix. New Amsterdam, the American medical drama that first graced our screens in 2018, wrapped up its fifth season in January of last year. After a long year of waiting, the show has finally made its way to the UK, dropping on the streaming platform on December 31st.
Since its release, the show has received high praise online and has even made it to the top 10 list of most popular shows in the nation on Netflix. It's clear that fans are ecstatic to finally snuggle up and binge-watch the latest season. Taking to social media, one fan shared their excitement on Twitter, saying: "Last season of New Amsterdam is finally on Netflix." Another fan expressed their disappointment that it's the final season, adding two crying emojis to their tweet. Meanwhile, another fan couldn't contain their excitement and announced that they've already started binge-watching the new season.
Currently sitting at number eight on Netflix, the show has also received praise from long-time viewers. One Twitter user called it "one of the best dramas" for its realistic portrayal of issues such as hospital budgets and administration. They wrote: "There is a great program on Netflix called New Amsterdam... it may not be 100% accurate, but it is one of the best dramas about modern hospital administration. It shows how individual public hospitals can operate and meet budgets."
New Amsterdam follows the story of Dr. Max Goodwin (played by Ryan Eggold) and his team, including Dr. Lauren Bloom (played by Janet Montgomery), as they navigate their roles in one of America's oldest and most neglected public hospitals. The show stands out from its competitors, Grey's Anatomy and The Resident, for its fewer character exits and major character deaths.
Sadly, with the good news of season 5 finally being available, comes some bad news. It has been confirmed that this will be the final season of New Amsterdam. Based on the book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer, the show was intended to continue for longer, but due to low ratings in season 4, it didn't get the green light to wrap up the way the creators had originally planned.
Despite its premiere on NBC drawing in approximately 8 million viewers, the viewership decreased significantly as the seasons went on. The season 5 finale saw only 2.83 million viewers. In a statement to People in 2022, Lisa Katz, President of Scripted Programming at NBCUniversal Television & Streaming, expressed her gratitude towards the show's creators, cast, and crew for their dedication and talent. She said: "The story of Max Goodwin and his never-ending commitment to patients at New Amsterdam has been inspiring."
New Amsterdam is now available for streaming on Netflix. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling their number, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
