According to Deadline, a sequel to the series New Amsterdam is currently in the works. The series is being developed on NBC by the creators and showrunner of the original series, David Shulner. It is tentatively titled New Amsterdam: Tomorrow.
The upcoming series will follow Dr. Max Goodwin’s daughter, Luna Goodwin, who will be seen taking over her father’s role as Medical Director of New Amsterdam Hospital. Deadline said that the sequel will also take place thirty years in the future. Because of this, there is a possibility that the series will show the ways that medicine will advance with the help of artificial intelligence. It will also branch off of the final episode in the fifth and last season of the original series.
IMDB said that New Amsterdam follows the plot of “Dr. Max Goodwin is brilliant, charming — and the new medical director at America’s oldest public hospital. While he’s set on tearing down the bureaucracy to provide exceptional care, the doctors and staff are not so sure. They’ve heard this before, and no one else has delivered on those promises. Not taking “no” for an answer, Max disrupts the status quo and proves he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers Island and the president of the United States all under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map. Inspired by Bellevue in New York City.”
New Amsterdam: Tomorrow, is being developed under Schulner and his production banner Mount Moriah’s deal with Universal Television. Deadline revealed that Peter Horton, director for the original series, is once again retiring to direct. He will also be executive producing through his UTV overall deal. The studio for the series will be Universal Television, which is a part of Universal Studio Group.
