NBC has renewed breakout drama series "New Amsterdam" for a second season. The pickup comes amid strong ratings for the medical drama from Universal TV, one of two hot newcomers at the network this fall.

"New Amsterdam" is averaging a 2.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 11.9 million viewers overall in Live+7 Nielsens, making it the second highest-rated new scripted series of the season in the 18-49 ratings demo behind only "Manifest".

In Live+Same Day, "New Amsterdam" tops its Tuesday 10 PM ET time slot versus regular broadcast competition, prevailing with 12 of 12 originals to date.

The series also is one of the most time-shifted shows on TV, adding 5.3 million viewers from L+SD to L+7, the season’s fourth-biggest lift on all of cable or broadcast, according to the network and Nielsen.

“We’ve been so excited to see how much audiences have embraced Dr. Max Goodwin and all the characters that make New Amsterdam such an incredibly compelling medical series,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents, Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment.

“Congratulations to David Schulner, Peter Horton, our writers and an amazing cast and crew who have brought these stories to life.”

I'm kinda surprised. This show is pretty awful as far as medical dramas go.
