Medical Drama New Amsterdam Season 6: Causes of Cancellation
There can be stated more than one reason that may have brought the NBC network cancellation of New Amsterdam Season 6. first, low ratings. More than this, the repetitive nature of the medical drama plot can be stated as the soundest reason. As per The Tech, the Series did not succeed with the high rank compared to others on NBC. On the other hand, the critic’s consensus on Rotten Tomatoes suggests that New Amsterdam has a conventional or similar plot compared with the previous in its line. As the agreement says:
“Overcrowded, overwrought, and overly familiar, New Amsterdam plays more like an exquisite corpse of pre-existing shows than a breakthrough for the genre – though that may be enough for medical drama devotees.”
To understand the Series New Amsterdam Season 6 cancellation, one should look into the deeper context of a medical drama and its significant popularity over time.

‘Consciousness’ of the Time: Television Media and Its Impact
The medical drama genre, along with other genres, has gained popularity almost in every society since the TV medium that presents the narrative of medical drama on screen-obsessed with the audience for its ‘bodily welfare,’ as per Marshall McLuhan (a communications theorist). McLuhan explained a theory of media in his book “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.” He demonstrates that a media or medium affects society despite having a mere presence in our lives. He explored this concept with an example of a bulb, having no content, but influencing our lives through the nature of the medium.
To illustrate it further, McLuhan’s concept of media (in terms of television media), to a greater extent, is a matter of consciousness. The motion picture that a camera brings to life is about how once a hidden narrative is brought to the greater consciousness. The way the camera unfolds a story on screen is every inch that gets into viewers’ perception. Moreover, the focus crucially maintained to portray a story’s specific part or action inspires today’s consciousness in our society.
To conclude the above analysis, the ‘consciousness’ of the time has been influenced by changing communication mediums. But to begin with a critique of New Amsterdam, there comes a contradiction. For instance, the plots of all seasons can be appreciated as other simulated versions of the series’ precedents on TV. Contrary to McLuhan’s perspective, the problem lies with the content rather than its medium. Observingly, the New Amsterdam series fails to present the new ‘breakthroughs,’ as per Rotten Tomatoes.
Commencing on the above point, one can figure out what has turned New Amsterdam’s narrative into non-triggering for the audience’s consciousness. So the content and its medium require the intensity and the newness of the thought to provide a full consciousness of the spectrum entailed in the story. Hence, in one way or another, it can be understood why Amsterdam Season 6 will not be produced.
