Development[edit]

In August 2016, it was announced that Showtime was developing a new original series, known as The City, pitched by executive producer Antoine Fuqua.[20] The series was described at the time as "a dark medical drama [that] centers around an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day of residency under the supervision of a senior resident who appears tough and brilliant, but turns out to be a cunning and deadly psychopath."[21] It was also announced that Amy Holden Jones would produce the series and co-write the pilot episode along with Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi.[22] The series, however, was never produced and on January 20, 2017, it was reported that Fox purchased the series from Showtime and ordered a pilot episode under the name The Resident.[1] On May 10, 2017, the series received a season order of 14 episodes.[2] The series premiered on January 21, 2018.[3] Phillip Noyce, an executive producer for the series, directed the first two episodes of the season after signing a multi-year deal with 20th Century Fox Television.[23] The first season officially concluded on May 14, 2018.[24]


In May 2018, Fox renewed the series for a 13-episode second season and pre-production began on June 8, 2018.[25][26] The second season premiered on September 24, 2018.[27] On October 10, 2018, it was reported that Fox had ordered an additional nine episodes for the second season, bringing the total episode count to 22.[28] On March 13, 2019, however, series co-creator Amy Holden Jones stated on her Twitter and Instagram accounts that there were 23 episodes in season 2.[29] In March 2019, Fox renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on September 24, 2019.[30][31] The season was originally planned to have 23 episodes, but COVID-related production shutdowns resulted in three episodes remaining unfilmed. As a result, episode 20 served as a makeshift third-season finale.[32] In May 2020, Fox renewed series for a fourth season, which premiered on January 12, 2021.[33][34] In May 2021, Fox renewed series for a fifth season, which premiered on September 21, 2021.[4][5] In May 2022, Fox renewed series for a sixth season which premiered on September 20, 2022.[6][7] On April 6, 2023, Fox canceled the series after six seasons.[8]
