New Amsterdam is returning to our screens this summer, but with a new home: Season 3 of the medical drama will premiere on Sky Witness in the UK.

Based on the best-selling book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer and his 15 years as medical director at the hospital, the show stars Ryan Eggold (The Blacklist) as Dr. Max Goodwin, Janet Montgomery (The Romanoffs) as Dr. Lauren Bloom, Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who) as Dr. Helen Sharpe, Jocko Sims (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) as Dr. Floyd Reynolds, Anupam Kher (Silver Linings Playbook) as Dr. Vijay Kapoor and Tyler Labine (StartUp) as Dr. Iggy Frome. Inspired by the oldest public hospital in America, the drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr Goodwin, the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care.

The show airs on NBC in the USA, with a green light already given for Seasons 4 and 5. In the UK, Season 1 and 2 premiered on Amazon Prime Video, but will now air on Sky Witness instead.

Season 3 will see New Amsterdam reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, not to mention having to deal with a plane crash in the East River. As for Max, fixing a broken system is no longer an option, replaced by a determination to rebuild it into something better. Season 1 and 2 are still available on Amazon Prime Video and are also available on Sky. Season 3 will premiere at 9pm on 21st July, with episodes arriving weekly.

Amazon books appointment with New Amsterdam

10th January 2019

US medical drama New Amsterdam is heading to UK TV this February, following a new deal with Amazon Prime Video.

Based on the best-selling book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer and his fifteen years as Medical Director at the hospital, New Amsterdam stars Ryan Eggold (The Blacklist) as Dr. Max Goodwin, Janet Montgomery (The Romanoffs) as Dr. Lauren Bloom, Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who) as Dr. Helen Sharpe, Jocko Sims (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) as Dr. Floyd Reynolds, Anupam Kher (Silver Linings Playbook) as Dr. Vijay Kapoor and Tyler Labine (StartUp) as Dr. Iggy Frome.

Inspired by the oldest public hospital in America, the drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Goodwin, the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. Not taking “no” for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove 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 and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.

New Amsterdam is produced by Universal Television in association with Pico Creek Productions and Mount Moriah. David Schulner will write and executive produce. Kate Dennis directed and executive produced the pilot episode, with Peter Horton on board as executive producer and Dr. Eric Manheimer as producer.

The series will premiere in the UK on Amazon Prime Video on 8th February, with all of the Season 1 episodes that have already aired in the US landing at once. Subsequent episodes will then launch weekly on Wednesdays, following their US broadcast.
