‘New Amsterdam’ season 4: Trailer, release date and everything we know about the NBC medical drama

Return to the team of doctors and the hospital at the center of New Amsterdam Tuesdays on NBC this season, as the peacock network’s medical drama is back for its fourth season. 

Based on the memoir Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer, David Schulner created the series, which is the latest medical drama from NBC, which has previously given fans ER and currently also has Chicago Med as part of its primetime lineup.

Here’s everything that you need to know about season four of New Amsterdam.

What is the plot of ‘New Amsterdam’?

New Amsterdam follows Dr. Max Goodwin, the medical director at America’s oldest public hospital, who breaks the rules as he takes on a mission of reworking the U.S. medical system. The show also dives into the personal lives of Dr. Goodwin and other members of the hospital staff.

Season four is meant to be a new chapter for Dr. Goodwin and company after a turbulent year. The first episode of the new season is titled “More Joy,” as the characters attempt to figure out how to find and hold on to the joy in their lives. This includes Max embracing his long-held feelings for Dr. Helen Sharpe; Dr. Lauren Bloom’s relationship with Dr. Leyla Shinwari, who is now her resident; Dr. Iggy Frome’s new career and Dr. Floyd Reynold’s personal engagements.

There is also a new presence in the hospital, Dr. Veronica Fuentes. She arrives at New Amsterdam to help turn around the overburdened and underfunded hospital. One of her first steps is to end all of the progressive programs that Max has built over the first three seasons.

The principal cast of New Amsterdam is made up of Ryan Eggold as Dr. Max Goodwin; Freema Agyeman as Dr. Helen Sharpe; Janet Montgomery as Dr. Lauren Bloom; Jocko Sims as Dr. Floyd Reynolds; and Tyler Labine as Dr. Iggy Frome. This quintet has appeared in every episode of New Amsterdam thus far.

Joining the show this season will be Michelle Forbes, who is tapped to recur throughout the fourth season as Dr. Veronica Fuentes.
