The Cylons, androids created by man, are the villains of "Battlestar Galactica," but they wear human guises. This reflects how the show's human heroes are all deeply flawed people and humanity's foibles (from arrogance to self-destructive) continue to haunt them even as their technology soars past the modern day.
Indeed, the best villain in "Battlestar Galactica" was a human character: Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes), commander of the Battlestar Pegasus. In the series' pilot min-series, the Cylons attack humanity's 12 colonies. The only survivors appear to be Galactica herself and a handful of civilian spaceships, who set out to find the mythical world Earth to be their new home.
Midway through season 2 in the episode, "Pegasus," the Galactica and her fleet meet the Pegasus, the other Battlestar which survived the genocide.. It doesn't stay a happy reunion for long. In a great dramatic move, Cain pulls rank on Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos...

The premise for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" is a little complex for the non-Trekkie, but ripe for drama when one delves in.
The titular station, Deep Space Nine, was in orbit around the non-Federation world of Bajor. For the past several decades, Bajor had been militarily occupied by the Nazi-like Cardassians, a species that regularly enslaved and mass-murdered Bajoran citizens. At the outset of the series, the Cardassian occupation had just ended, and Bajor inherited their disused station. In order to aid the Bajoran restoration, Starfleet was assigned to run Deep Space Nine and to oversee the rebuilding of Bajor's government (which was already tilting dangerously close to a corrupt theocracy).
Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) was the Starfleet officer put in charge of the broken-down DS9 and his first officer was the haughty former Bajoran resistance fighter, Major Kira (Nana Visitor). "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was unique in...

Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes) first appeared in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Ensign Ro", and she introduced an interesting character dynamic to the series. Whereas most of the characters on "Next Generation" were wholly devoted to Starfleet principals and unwaveringly loyal to Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), Ensign Ro felt that Starfleet frequently let suffering go unacknowledged. She was combative and disobedient as a result, often openly defying her captain and responding to diplomatic solutions with belligerence.
Forbes' performance was so assured and defiant, however, that Ro's disobedience never felt impulsive or immature. Her reactions were organic and principled, revealing a hardened but understandable heart. Ro only appeared in eight episodes of "Next Generation," but she was always welcome to shake up the system and offer metaphorical headbutts to her commanding officers.
Ro's final "Next Generation" episode was "Preemptive Strike" wherein she found herself sympathizing with a group...

"The Inner Light" is handily one of the best episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The events of the episode are so dramatic that it's a little unusual that Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) didn't bring them up more often in future episodes of the show. Indeed, in the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," the retired admiral mentions that he's finally ready to be a father and let the next step of his life unfold, failing to acknowledge that he already lived to be an old man, already raised his own children and grandchildren, and already fell deeply in love with an alien woman on a distant planet where he lived for many decades. Never mind that it was all a memory implant given to him by a rogue space probe.
The events of "The Inner Light" dictated that Picard essentially has two lifetimes worth of memories crammed into his head.

In the fifth season of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the showrunners introduced a new regular character named Ensign Ro Laren. Ro (an excellent Michelle Forbes) was a Bajoran, a species whose planet has been militarily occupied by the wicked Cardassians for generations. Bajorans had long since turned to rebellious terrorism to fight back. Since neither world was a member of the Federation, no Starfleet vessels interfered. When the Enterprise was assigned to find a Bajoran terrorist named Orta (Jeffrey Hayegna), Ensign Ro was assigned to assist.
Immediately, Ro was a fascinating character. She belonged to Starfleet but hated authority, often defying Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and expressing open annoyance with his orders. She possessed a great deal of agency, upsetting the traditional Starfleet chain of command. She also was, it is eventually revealed, on a secret mission from an admiral above Picard's head.

“Star Trek” hasn’t been recognized by the Emmys for acting since the original series aired in the 1960s. Back then Leonard Nimoy earned three bids for his iconic role as Spock. But no actors from the franchise have been nominated since. Will that change with the third and final season of “Star Trek: Picard”? The Paramount+ series submitted the following 12 actors for consideration on the Emmy ballot.

The showrunner of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," Terry Matalas, began the season with a few cute references and cameos to whet the appetites of nostalgia-hungry Trekkies. One of the first shots of the season was a slow pan over the belongings of Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden), and sharp-eyed fans would likely recognize several trinkets and pictures and audio logs left over from "Star Trek: The Next Generation." For five episodes, Matalas played light and fair with additional nostalgic references, focusing instead on new characters, a new ship, and the story at hand.
In the back half of the season, however, the dam burst, and the cameos and references began coming fast and furious. There were small notable roles for Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), Tuvok (Tim Russ), and Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy). The eighth episode saw the entire central cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the...

This article contains spoilers for the series finale of "Star Trek: Picard."
The acclaimed final season of "Star Trek: Picard" has come to a stirring and satisfying end — and, with it, the conclusion to the decades-long journey of Patrick Stewart's Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the beloved crew of explorers from "The Next Generation." But part of the difficult task laid on the shoulders of showrunner and director Terry Matalas involved uniting multiple different shows set around the same time period. That meant tying together loose threads from "Deep Space Nine" like the Changelings, long-missing members of "The Next Generation" such as Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), and characters from "Star Trek: Voyager" including Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine.
By the end of the finale, the dual threat of the Borg and the Changelings are vanquished once more and seemingly for good. Pulling off...

“Star Trek: Picard” ends its run on April 20 after three seasons, and it’s ending on some of the best episodes of its entire run. Will it be rewarded for it by the Emmys? “Star Trek: The Next Generation” had to wait until its final season to finally be nominated for Best Drama Series, and “Picard” deserves the same consideration.
The comparison to “Tng” is especially apt this year. To celebrate “Picard’s” swan song after its short-but-sweet run on Paramount+, the story has incorporated the old cast of characters, including Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Data (Brent Spiner), and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). The plot also incorporates some familiar elements, including the Changelings from “Deep Space Nine” and, as was revealed in episode nine, the Borg.

Warning: this post will contain spoilers about the third season of "Star Trek: Picard."
When the third season of "Star Trek: Picard" was first announced, it sold itself as a nostalgia party. Previously, of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" cast, only Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner had appeared, and the four never had a scene together. The third season was constructed specifically to gather those four, add Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, and LeVar Burton to the mix, and get them all in the same room. Refreshingly, the showrunners of "Picard" held said event for the end of the season's eighth episode, allowing each character to be introduced organically. By the time everyone was gathered, the moment of nostalgic reunion felt earned ... if not corny. Additionally, other legacy characters like Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), Tuvok (Tim Russ), and Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy) would appear from time to time.

Fifty-four years. That’s how long it has been since an actor in a “Star Trek” franchise series has been nominated for an Emmy. Back in 1969, the late Leonard Nimoy received his third and final Emmy nomination for his iconic role as First Officer Spock in the original series, the only actor from the sci-fi classic to be nominated from the show, which ran for three seasons on NBC in the late 1960s. Since then, it’s been crickets from the TV academy when it comes to “Star Trek” actors.
Not even Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard? Nope. He did score a rare Screen Actors Guild Award nomination back in 1994 for the final season of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” but Emmy voters subsequently overlooked him, despite nominating the show for Best Drama Series for its seventh and final season that same year.

This post contains spoilers for episode 6, season 3 of "Star Trek: Picard."
The most recent season of "Star Trek: Picard" initially sold itself as essentially a reunion special. Early trailers boasted that most of the main cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" would return, including Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner (even though Data had died several times over). While some Trekkies may have been excited about the promise of a reunion, other more cautiously pessimistic fans could immediately envision a plodding nostalgia-fest wherein characters do nothing but repeat old lines of dialogue, walk around on old sets, and become weepy over the tricorders they used several decades prior.

It seems that this moment was inevitable.
For the first five episodes of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," the showrunners have shown a great deal of restraint. The central cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was poised to reunite, but so far the story has taken precedence, with recognizable legacy characters slowly and organically entering the fray. Indeed, for a spell, it appeared only Picard, Riker, and Dr. Crusher were going to reunite while Worf (Michael Dorn) took care of the show's B-plot with Raffi (Michelle Hurd). The previous episode, "Imposters," even threw in a notable cameo for Cmdr. Ro (Michelle Forbes), an unexpected surprise.
With "The Bounty," the showrunners slammed their collective foot down onto the nostalgia accelerator pedal, charging headlong and shamelessly into a vat of warm sticky toffee pudding. This episode will hastily bring in three NextGen cast members, not all of them organically.

Indeed, for a spell, it appeared only Picard, Riker, and Dr. Crusher were going to reunite while Worf (Michael Dorn) took care of the show's B-plot with Raffi (Michelle Hurd). The previous episode, "Imposters," even threw in a notable cameo for Cmdr. Ro (Michelle Forbes), an unexpected surprise.
With "The Bounty," the showrunners slammed their collective foot down onto the nostalgia accelerator pedal, charging headlong and shamelessly into a vat of warm sticky toffee pudding. This episode will hastily bring in three NextGen cast members, not all of them organically.

Of all the fan service we've been gifted this season, Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 5 is the most emotionally impactful and psychologically satisfying.
Ro Laren's history with Starfleet, in general, and Picard, in particular, has been an open case for so long that most fans probably believed it would remain without conclusion forever.
Her return binds the season's two narratives together for the first time. Her reunion with Picard brings closure to the betrayal he's carried for thirty years. Her death may prove to be the most meaningful sacrifice Starfleet ever records.
Despite not appearing on Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 4, Worf and Raffi's mission is never far from mind as unmasking the Changeling posing as Titus Rikka linked (!) their investigation to the personnel issues aboard the Titan.
When Worf's handler denies them their requested authorization to access Daystrom Station, we see how Worf and Raffi respond differently to orders.

The third season of "Star Trek: Picard" has brought back a whole bunch of characters from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," but it's also introduced one of my new favorite "Star Trek" characters: Captain Liam Shaw, the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Titan. It's easy (and fun!) to hate Shaw, played with the perfect amount of snark by actor Todd Stashwick, because he's a grumpy buzzkill who has replaced charm with "being an a**hole." He's also pretty bigoted against former Borg, though when we find out about his history with the horrifying aliens, it's kind of hard to blame him. It's also a little hard to blame him for being so cranky, too, when you realize that the captain has had one seriously no-good, very bad week.

The third and final season of "Picard" made no secret of the fact that it was bringing back "Star Trek: The Next Generation" characters. Some of the earliest sneak peeks that we saw for it last year (such as this one) put the "Next Generation" crew right out in front. In addition to the requisite Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), we've already seen several familiar faces in the first half of "Picard" season 3, including Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), and the one and only Worf (Michael Dorn). We also know that Geordi Laforge (LeVar Burton) is on the way at some point, and a subsequent teaser trailer confirmed the impending return of Lore (Brent Spiner) and Professor Moriarty (Daniel Davis) as well.
There's one other surprise return, however, that the marketing for "Picard" withheld altogether: namely,...

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 5
Now that the U.S.S. Titan has successfully escaped the existential threat of death in a gravity well (and completed a truly outstanding quasi-two-parter in “Seventeen Seconds” and “No Win Scenario”), Star Trek: Picard slows down a bit. “Imposters” is an hour that is, admittedly, mostly table setting for the back half of the season, as the show moves various pieces into place to finally bring its disparate plots together. Yet, because Picard seems to have learned—at long last—that it’s at its best when it’s wrestling not just with the broader legacy of The Next Generation, but the way that legacy has impacted the lives of others, the episode is still more emotionally compelling than any installment that’s predominantly about Changeling physiology has any right to be.

The third and final season of Paramount+’s “Star Trek: Picard” reunites the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise D for one final journey.
So far, audiences have seen Picard (Patrick Stewart) reunite with his former Enterprise first officer Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and former ship’s doctor and surprise baby mama Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Riker’s wife and former ship’s counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) also made a brief holographic appearance. Separately, ex-security chief Worf (Michael Dorn) has been working on a clandestine mission for Starfleet intelligence.
While we’ve yet to see Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) and Data (Brent Spiner) in the new series, they’ve appeared in promotional materials.
Thursday’s episode of “Picard” features an appearance by another popular “Next Generation” character who hasn’t been included in any promos. Who is it?

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Is Finally Delivering On The Promise Of A Classic Next Generation Episode
This post contains spoilers for "Star Trek: Picard," season 3, episode 5, "Imposter."
Someone call a Code 47, because we need to open a secure channel about the latest episode of "Picard" season 3. The show has gone to some familiar places this season — so many of them, in fact, that its continuing mission seems to be boldly going where "Star Trek" has gone before. By way of an example, in episode 5, "Imposter," Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes) shows up out of the blue after 29 years, and we learn through expository dialogue that, in the interim, she's repeated her history of being court-martialed, imprisoned, and then set free to rise through the ranks of Starfleet again.
Ro's return draws on the penultimate episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and thanks to the combined acting skills of Forbes and Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, their scenes crackle with drama and help ratchet up the tension...

The strongest element of the new season of "Star Trek: Picard" is, to perhaps reiterate a previous review, pacing. For every starship battle, there are a few quiet moments of introspection wherein characters are permitted to converse, to philosophize, to reveal things about their characters to indicate that they have undergone growth since their appearances in older Trek shows. "Picard," while crammed with incidents, isn't operating in panic mode, meting out its information in a palatable way. In the fifth episode, "Imposters," Picard (Patrick Stewart), Capt. Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), and Capt. Shaw, have discovered there are Changelings on board the U.S.S. Titan-A, and that the villainous shapeshifting aliens have something to do with the apprehension of Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers).

In last year’s Scream movie, which came to us from the filmmaking trio known as Radio Silence, there’s a moment where the characters realize the latest iteration of the Ghostface killer is “making a requel”. It breaks down like this: “You can’t just reboot a franchise from scratch anymore, but you can’t just do a straight sequel either. You’ve got to build something new. It’s got to be part of an on-going storyline. New main characters, yes, but supported by and related to legacy characters. Not quite a reboot, not quite a sequel.” Some prefer to term “legacyquel” over “requel”, but in a new interview with ComicBook.com Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett confirmed they’re planning to make an Escape from New York “requel”.
It was announced back in November that Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are attached to direct a new take on John Carpenter’s 1981 sci-fi...

Brad Pitt may be one of Hollywood's biggest stars, but the one thing I've always liked is how he is willing to subvert the expectations of his screen persona. Just take his role in "Kalifornia," possibly the most '90s movie of the big 1990s serial killer trend. It came just two years after he'd wowed everyone with his breezy charisma, acting ability, sunny good looks, and impeccable pecs as a charming hustler in "Thelma & Louise." It was a breakthrough role for Pitt, but even at that early stage of his career, he refused to be typecast. So in "Kalifornia" he played a scuzzy redneck murderer on the road with a yuppie couple (Michelle Forbes and David Duchovny) and his naive trailer trash girlfriend.
As his career progressed beyond Peak-Pitt and his high-profile relationships with Jennifer Anniston and Angelina Jolie, he still refused to rest on his laurels. One...

Update 2: It would seem that Radio Silence are indeed going to direct the new Escape from New York movie as Deadline has also confirmed the news, adding that original director John Carpenter is onboard as an executive producer.
Update: Our friends at Bloody Disgusting have been able to confirm that Radio Silence is in early talks with 20th Century Fox about directing an Escape from New York project, but Kurt Russell has not been contacted at this time.
The original article follows:
A remake of John Carpenter’s 1981 sci-fi action film Escape from New York (watch it Here) has been in development for many years, passing through the hands of filmmakers like Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner, Breck Eisner, Robert Rodriguez, and Leigh Whannell.

Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) pulls a very Dr. Max Goodwin move in TV Insider’s exclusives sneak peek of the October 11 episode of New Amsterdam, and we have to be honest: We love everything about it, from Max’s enthusiasm to the response from the rest of the hospital staff. First of all, Max has everyone worried with a major 9-1-1 page — Is there a mass casualty? Is Veronica (Michelle Forbes) back?! — but no, he just gathers them all and encourages them to “take a nice, deep breath” before revealing why they’re there. “Now that we are nice and relaxed, I have some bad news: You are all in critical condition,” he announces. “Morale for doctors is at an all-time low. … Burnout and turnover are at an all-time high, and if it continues at this pace, we’re not going to have enough staff to keep the doors open.

This article contains spoilers for The Orville: New Horizons and Star Trek.
With a team composed of comedic writers from Seth MacFarlane’s catalog of animated shows, and Star Trek veterans such as Brannon Braga and David A. Goodman, The Orville: New Horizons has been leaning further away from the comedy, and more toward the “Trek” lately.
That isn’t meant to insinuate that The Orville is derivative, as many of the comparisons have come from the same writing team who created the idea first. However, it does seem that they’ve often used successful character dynamics, tropes, or story beats from their past writing, even perhaps improving upon them the second time. If the writers are trying to make a good thing even better, many fans would agree it has worked, with some even calling The Orville the best Trek out there right now.

Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) remains determined to take down his replacement as medical director, Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes), but will he succeed in the two New Amsterdam episodes airing on back-to-back nights on Monday, May 9 (at 10/9c), and in its usual time slot on Tuesday, May 10? At the end of the latest episode, Veronica announced to the board her plan to acquire Urgent Medicine Inc. as Max continued to try to oust her. The board didn’t want her to resign after she explained how that would be profitable for them… but what she didn’t know is that was part of Max’s plan and she fell for it. “How do you beat greed personified? You give her something to buy,” Max said to Karen Brantley (Debra Monk) when they met up after. “Veronica just bought herself a Trojan horse.

“This guy needs some good times. He needs some things to go right,” Ryan Eggold (above) says of Dr. Max Goodwin on New Amsterdam. The hospital drama’s intense two-part return (concluding April 26) has a promising start for him: The cancer survivor and widower takes time off from his war against administrator Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes) for the staff’s karaoke night, slaying “Shake Your Groove Thing” with Dr. Wilder. His long-distance love Helen (Freema Agyeman) visits from London, and he plans to propose. But as the first hour unfolds from different characters’ perspectives, the evening takes a dark turn in unforeseen ways — leaving relationships, and even lives, in jeopardy. Zach Dilgard/NBC “There’s a scare that runs through this whole ensemble,” the actor teases. “It sends everyone reeling, trying to figure out what happened and unscramble this mystery that has the potential to be very damaging for some people.

With the majority of prestige television being released on streaming services and cable networks with no content restrictions, nudity from famous actors and actresses has become commonplace. To many, it is no longer shocking to see their favorite stars strip down on screen. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be daunting for the performers themselves.
Diane Kruger, who stars in the new television remake of “Swimming with Sharks” on the Roku Channel, recently opened up about her experience filming nude scenes on the show. In an interview with Insider, Kruger said she was extremely hesitant about doing nudity. As an actress, her approach is generally to avoid nude scenes unless there is a specific artistic justification.
“The motivation behind sex scenes has to be a good one. I don’t agree with just getting naked on screen or doing stuff like that,” Kruger said. “So I was pretty...

He inspires (almost) everyone around him, and will stop at nothing to breathe new life into the understaffed, underfunded, and underappreciated New Amsterdam Medical Center. Those working with Goodwin...

Even if Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) saves New Amsterdam from the medical director who replaced him when he moved to London, Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes), we won’t be seeing the hospital’s staff for much longer: The NBC medical drama is coming to an end. New Amsterdam is ending with the fifth season, to air in 2022-2023, Deadline reports. Its 13 episodes will mean the series ends with 92, eight short of the milestone 100. “The story of Max Goodwin, and his never-ending commitment to patients at New Amsterdam, has been inspiring,” Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Programming, NBCUniversal Television & Streaming, said in a statement. “We’re so grateful to David Schulner, Peter Horton, and our cast and crew for their incredible dedication, talent and collaboration.” Added Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television, “When I first read the pilot script for New Amsterdam, I knew we had a ...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for New Amsterdam Season 4, Episode 15 “Two Doors.”] Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) is probably (definitely) trying to do too much right now. He’s building a life in London with Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) and his daughter, and he’s back in New York trying to save New Amsterdam from his replacement as medical director, Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes). In the latest New Amsterdam episode, which Eggold directed, he takes an important step in accomplishing his goal in the U.S.: starting work at a trauma clinic that will get him a seat on the hospital’s board. He even has some friends — including Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery), whom Veronica had fired — with him. Plus, after poor timing all episode, Max and Helen reconnect for an emotionally charged phone conversation that has her certain they’ll be Ok. Eggold takes us inside the episode, teases what’s ahead, and addresses that “...

When we last saw the doctors of New Amsterdam, everyone was in for some bad news: Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes), Dr. Max Goodwin’s (Ryan Eggold) replacement as medical director, found out about the resistance and made some major power moves. Among the demotions, termination, and warnings: Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) is no longer head of the psychiatry department. But maybe Max, sticking around to try to help while Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) returned to London, can do something about that? How does everyone feel about their former boss being back? Labine teases what’s ahead and Eggold directing him in February 22’s “Two Doors”. Things are messy right now at New Amsterdam. The resistance is over. Veronica’s made all these moves. What’s life like at the hospital when it picks up? Tyler Labine: Things were left off obviously very tense. Lot of ...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 11 “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution.”] New Amsterdam just isn’t the same without Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) and Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman), but at least we like the latter’s replacement. The new medical director, Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes), on the other hand, gets right to work implementing new policies now that she’s the sole person in charge. Also in the New Amsterdam winter premiere, Max and Helen adjust to life in London, and that’s not without its challenges. Plus, Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery) tries (and fails) to connect with Dr. Leyla Shinwari (Shiva Kalaiselvan) after she found out about the donation that opened up a fifth residency spot, but at least her personal life is nowhere near as complicated as Dr. Floyd Reynolds’ (Jocko Sims) with Dr. Lyn Malvo (Frances Turner) pregnant. Oh, and Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) continues to make bad ...

When New Amsterdam resumes its fourth season on January 4, things have changed at the hospital. With Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) and Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) moving to London, Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes) and Dr. Elizabeth Wilder (Sandra Mae Frank) have officially taken over for them, as medical director and chair of oncology. “You’re going to learn more about [Wilder] and learn that she’s not perfect and she has struggles just like the rest of us,” executive producer David Schulner tells TV Insider. “But she is an awesome character and we love her and we love Sandra Mae Frank. We needed someone with Freema’s gravitas to fill that void, and we felt that Sandra May really brings something unique and different, but also can take over the department that Sharpe left behind.” In addition to seeing Wilder interacting with everyone on staff, “we’re going to learn about Dr.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 10 “Death is the Rule. Life is the Exception.”] And Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) thought his personal life was complicated before! The now-Chair of General Surgery almost lost his job, due to Dr. Veronica Fuentes’ (Michelle Forbes) proposed cuts, but Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) stepped in, and instead, the doc who had his new position — Dr. Claude Baptiste (Andre Blake) was let go.

Sure, they have an open marriage, but Claude wasn’t too pleased when he learned his wife’s boyfriend’s identity. And now, the New Amsterdam midseason finale ended with Lyn telling Reynolds she’s pregnant! Sims teases what’s ahead after that shocking news.
