Deadline

“We have such an incredible ensemble cast on The Resident,” Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn said at the TV press tour. “Emily is certainly a big part of the show but like many ensemble dramas that have incredible creators behind it, we believe we’re going to still really connect with our audience on the stories that we’re telling this season.” He added: “The audience is going to be surprised and emotionally engaged with how we handle Emily’s departure and the way that it affects all of the other characters,” he said. “And yes, we will be introducing some new characters as we go along, but I think it’s going to be another excellent season. (Co-creator) Amy Holden Jones does an incredible job.” ALSO: Morris Chestnut isn't sure about his Resident future.
