Canceled in 2022, the series New Amsterdamavailable on the Netflix streaming platform, could return soon. But be careful, she won’t start again just after the last season.
In spring 2022, fans of New Amsterdam learned that their series was going to be canceled after season 5 and that it would only have thirteen episodes. A decision by the American channel NBC, due to declining audiences. Since then, the show hosted by Ryan Eggold has been available on the Netflix streaming platform. The American giant also added the final salvo to its catalog on December 31. New Amsterdam ended with Max joining Geneva to work with the World Health Organization. On the other hand, the series did not wish to answer the question that all fans asked themselves: has Max finished with his ex-fiancée Helen, played by Freema Agyeman, seen in two cult series, or with his new love, Wilder? Comedian Ryan Eggold gave his opinion in an interview with the American site TV Insider in November 2024. “Really, I think he’s done with Luna [sa fille, NDLR]. I think that’s the person he’s supposed to end up with, his wife dead.”he noted. The answer could be provided in the spin-off of New Amsterdamannounced by NBC, which will tell another story.

If nothing is confirmed regarding the return of the series, Ryan Eggold, who revealed how he prepared to play this doctor who really existed, indicated if he would be up for participating and the answer was clear: “I don’t know much about what they’re planning, but whatever David Schulner (the creator, editor’s note) asks me to do, the answer will most likely be yes”he assured. Before adding: “He’s just a magnificent human being and a great writer, and we made a great series together.”
New Amsterdam : Ryan Eggold was frustrated by the end of the series
With a season 5 of New Amsterdam shortened, Ryan Eggold revealed that he was frustrated at having to close the series in just thirteen episodes. As he revealed, it would have been “nice to have a full final season”. And the actor confided: “We kind of had to race to the finish line and weren’t able to wrap things up, I think, in the way we could have done with more time.” If he is a little frustrated with this ending, he nevertheless wanted to point out that he found it charming: “David and Peter [Horton] and everyone have done an absolutely fantastic job with the series.”
