"The Resident" will swap out a superbug for a global pandemic when it returns for Season 4, as the Fox series plans to write in the real-life coronavirus outbreak. As series co-creator Amy Holden Jones revealed to Us Weekly, the medical drama will address the ongoing health crisis in its Season 4 opener.

“Our premiere deals with the early days of the outbreak, focusing on the effect on our hero doctors and nurses as they risk their lives daily,” Jones divulged. “Long-term, sadly, the after-effects of COVID-19 will go on, even after we have a vaccine, and we’ll be there to show that, as well.”

"The Resident‘s" writing team includes several medical professionals, two of whom — Daniela Lamas and Eric Lu — co-wrote the COVID-centric premiere. The show also employs an on-set nurse who has been volunteering in New York City and Texas during the pandemic.

“Their stories are moving, deep and tragic and continue to accumulate to this day,” Jones added. “We hope soon to share all we have learned.”

Check out The Resident's wedding

The Fox medical drama returns for Season 4 on Jan. 12 with Matt Czuchry's Conrad Hawkins marrying Emily VanCamp's Nic Nevin. "They met in a bar, fell in love in a hospital, and now — after all the glorious highs and painful losses — Conrad and Nic will join hands forever," the producers said in a statement to EW. "At the end of a premiere episode that looks back on the crisis year that was 2020 — and visualizes an end to the pandemic — Conrad and Nic decide that there is no better time to commit to a hopeful future, and so they say 'I do.'"
