New Amsterdam Season 5 Storyline
While the team did divulge much information about New Amsterdam Season 5, the storyline still remains a secret. Nonetheless, they have left little hints for their fans here and there. Well, we have picked up on them, and here is everything we know about how season 5 may unfold.
While talking with TV Insider, the show’s executive producer, David Schulner, dropped some major hints. He stated that he wanted the series to end where it all began. He wants to journey back to season 1 and ensure that each character ends at the same point that they started from. Although much more refined now. He teased,
“So for Bloom, it was about her addiction…so her mom (played by Gina Gershon) can’t be far behind.”
Dr. Iggy’s core issue revolved around his perception of himself. On the other hand, Reynolds wishes to have a family. Hence, the fifth season would circle back to this and hopefully bring the characters to a full circle.
Further, Jocko Sims has some suggestions for his character, Reynold’s future as well. The complicated love triangle between him, Lyn Malvo, and her husband, Claude Baptiste, are sure to be further explored in season 5. While talking to NBC Insider, Sims stated,
“I would hope that he finds a good balance with his kid and Dr. Malvo, who is the mother of his child—if that is such the case, right?”
He also hopes that his character finds answers regarding his father.
Moreover, the fourth season ended on a major cliffhanger. We saw that Dr. Goodwin and Dr. Sharpe did not end up getting married. Hence, their relationship definitely has some major hurdles to get past. It will be interesting to see how the two deal with the challenges and whether they end up together or not as the series nears its end.
