So there were a lot of reasons to think and hope that The Resident would succeed with viewers, and this Season 2 renewal is almost definitely the biggest and best sign of approval that Fox could have delivered.
And it wasn’t exactly a sure thing, either, so here’s hoping everyone involved can set their worries aside for now.
As Fox’s newest and only medical drama (outside of some portions of 9-1-1), The Resident supplies the latest leading roles for TV vets like The Good Wife’s Matt Zcuchry, Revenge’s Emily VanCamp, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Manish Dayal and The People vs. O.J. Simpson’s Bruce Greenwood.
