Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

3. The Resident

Network: Fox
Status: Season 6 Could Go Either Way

In 2016, Showtime began developing a dark drama, with Fuqua Films, about the medical world, but after a year of development, the project was scrapped by the network and scooped up by Fox. Viewers have been infatuated with television series about doctors for decades, and Fox hoped that “The Resident” would be no different.

After receiving moderate critical acclaim over its first 2 seasons, the show’s popularity waned over the subsequent 2 seasons and now, currently, in the fifth year of its residency on Fox, it’s unknown whether or not “The Resident” will keep its place and return for a sixth season.
