Has Fox Renewed ‘The Resident’?: Everything We Know About ‘The Resident’ Season 7

With The Resident Season 6 coming to a close, fans who’ve fallen in love with Conrad (Matt Czuchry), Devon (Manish Dayal), Randolph (Bruce Greenwood), AJ (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), Kit (Jane Leeves), and the rest of the crew at Atlanta’s Chastain Park Memorial Hospital are left wondering if the series return for a Season 7.

The Resident’s Season 6 finale, “All Hands On Deck,” airs on Fox on Tuesday, January 17. And without spoiling anything, I can safely say that fans will be left wanting more of the medical drama when the end credits roll tonight.

If you’re all caught up on The Resident Season 6 and are curious if the story will continue, you’re not alone. Wondering if Fox green-lit The Resident Season 7? Or if Fox canceled The Resident? Read on to learn everything we know about the future of the series and its renewal status.

Will There Be a Season 7 of The Resident on Fox?

On Thursday, April 6, The Resident was officially canceled, much to the dismay of fans, cast members, and creatives. This means the Season 6 finale will serve as the series finale, and the show won’t live to see a Season 7.

Back in September 2022, co-creator Amy Holden Jones told TVLine that The Resident had the potential to keep growing and she hoped the team would get the opportunity to further explore its characters and their storylines. “The fate of the show is somewhat caught up in the fact that it’s owned by Disney but shown by Fox, which is not an ideal scenario… And that’s also tied up with the fate of the network drama, which, God only knows, at this point,” Jones told TVLine. “The ratings are incredibly stable. We have a very core audience that just loves us, and if we have a chance, I’m sure we will continue to grow. It has the potential to go on and on, but whether it’ll be given that shot, I don’t know.”

In December 2022, The Resident showrunner Andrew Chapman shared thoughts on a potential Season 7 with TV Insider and addressed the length of Season 6, which was 13 episodes on the heels of Season 5’s 23 episodes. “We always knew that it was gonna be 13 episodes. There was really never any talk of more than that for this season. But we don’t know about Season 7. It’s still a possibility. We’re wrapping up the season, but not the show,” he said.

What Would The Resident Season 7 Have Looked Like?

Without spoiling the Season 6 finale, The Resident gave viewers some much-needed closure related to romances and other running Season 6 storylines. That said, there were still a lot of ways to explore the core characters, their personal lives, and their careers going forward. And of course, there would always be new patients to treat at Chastain. Unfortunately our time at Chastain has come to an end, but the series and its characters will live on forever in rewatches. 

Updated on April 7 to include additional information about The Resident’s renewal status.

Season 6 of The Resident is now streaming on Hulu.
