The doors at Chastain Memorial Hospital will remain open after Fox renewed The Resident for a fifth season. The renewal, which was unveiled as part of Fox’s 2021-22 schedule, was not a surprise given that the medical drama is the network’s biggest scripted series after its 9-1-1 franchise.

It joins the procedurals, which were both also renewed, on the schedule, remaining in its Tuesday at 8pm slot. It will precede new drama series Our Kind of People.
