FOX

The operating theater at Chastain Memorial Hospital has gone dark as FOX has officially cancelled the Matt Czurchy-led series “The Resident” after six seasons.

This means the sixth season finale on January 16th, the 107th episode of the series titled “All Hands On Deck,” is the show’s last.

The 20th Television-produced show saw significant decreases in ratings as the seasons went on – falling to 6.9 million viewers per episode in Live+7 results which is down 35% in overall audience and 69% in the key demo vs. its first season.

The final episode saw Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) declaring his love for Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas), Ian Sullivan (Andrew McCarthy) coming clean about his drug addiction, and Leela Devi (Anuja Joshi) and Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal) finally became engaged.

The likes of Emily VanCamp, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Morris Chestnut, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Melina Kanakaredes, Jocko Sims, Jenna Dewan, Corbin Bernsen, David Alan Grier, Rob Yang and Conrad Ricamora also starred over the seasons.

FOX is bringing in a new medical drama next season with “Doc” about a skilled doctor who lost her last eight years of memories after a brain injury. She must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients, colleagues, romantic partners or the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away.
