Fox has renewed its Monday procedural lineup of sophomore dramas "9-1-1" and "The Resident". Both have been picked up for a third season and both hail from network’s former studio sibling 20th Century Fox TV, which, as of last week, became part of Disney.

Following their launch last midseason, "9-1-1" and "The Resident" delivered +24% year-over-year growth for Fox Monday this past fall.




"The Resident", from Amy Holden Jones and Todd Harthan, has averaged a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating and 7.7 million viewers (most current), 11 million total multi-platform viewers.

It ranks among the season’s Top 20 broadcast dramas among Young Adults and Teens and is Fox’s second most watched drama series behind 9-1-1.




“Amy Holden Jones, Todd Harthan and the team behind The Resident continue to showcase their brilliant storytelling, revealing both the triumphs and tragedy within the medical world,” Thorn said.

“Matt Czuchry, Emily VanCamp and Bruce Greenwood, along with the stellar cast, have developed rich and compelling characters through their heartfelt performances. We want to thank our producing partners, 20th Century Fox Television, who have steered these two extraordinary series. Both 9-1-1 and The Resident have many, many more stories to tell and we can’t wait to deliver them to fans next season.”

The Resident boss on scrambling to adjust to a shortened season: "It was a fast-moving, very intense, unfamiliar situation for all of us" (https://tvline.com/2020/04/07/the-resident-recap-season-3-episode-20-finale-renewed-cancelled)

"We figured it out as we went," showrunner Todd Harthan says of concluding Season 3 Tuesday night with Episode 20, well short of its 23-episode season order. "We had the luxury — in this particular season, anyway — where the last three or four episodes are so intense because it’s the culmination of our (Red Rock storyline), and so many personal relationships have been building up over the course of the season. So this year in particular, our last five episodes were all feeling like satisfying, big episodes. When this all hit, we did make some adjustments when Episode 20 became our finale, and we did have the luxury of other pieces of shot footage, and we said, 'Oh, wait, what if we take this puzzle piece and move it into Episode 20, to give it more of a cliffhanger-like feeling?' It was crazy. It was intense. And ultimately, it’s a TV show. For us, it was about doing the best we can, but let’s be realistic that the things happening in the rest of the world are far more serious."

Eventhough this show is pretty good I'm guessing season 3 is the last or maybe 1 or 2 more if this season does well.
