NBC Orders NEW AMSTERDAM to Series

NBC has picked up its first new show for the 2018-2019 season: medical drama NEW AMSTERDAM.

Here’s NBC’s description of the series: “Inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America, this unique medical drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin, the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before. Not taking “no” for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.”

NEW AMSTERDAM stars Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Anupam Kher, and Tyler Labine. The series was created by David Schulner (who was last an executive producer on the network’s EMERALD CITY) and directed by Kate Dennis (GLOW, THE HANDMAID’S TALE).
