When Does The New Season Of The Resident Start 2021

Okay, let's talk The Resident. Specifically, WHEN DOES IT RETURN? Because frankly, my DVR is starting to look at me judgmentally for all the reruns I've been watching.

If you are like me, you are probably asking yourself and searching online with “When Does The New Season Of The Resident Start 2021”. Well, let’s get to the details and some unpopular opinions here.

The Great Resident Wait: A Breakdown

So, for those living under a medical drama-free rock (lucky you!), The Resident is that show. You know the one? The one with all the ridiculously attractive doctors facing equally ridiculous hospital drama.

And we're all addicted. Don't deny it.

The Bad News (Brace Yourselves!)

Remember 2021? Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Sadly, The Resident Season 5 did air in 2021, kicking off in September.

But the agonizing wait felt like forever! Each episode was a tiny band-aid on a much larger Resident-shaped wound.

Now that we're hurtling through time towards whatever year this is, we have to keep ourselves busy until the next season.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Here's where I might lose some of you. I think Conrad needs a vacation. Seriously. The man has seen enough trauma to fill a textbook.

Give him a beach. A margarita. And absolutely NO medical emergencies.

Another one? Maybe Nic was a bit too good. Too perfect. Bring on some realistically flawed characters, please!

How to Survive the Resident Drought

First, re-watch the previous seasons. Yes, even the ones that made you cry into your pillow at 2 AM.

Embrace the pain! It's good for character development...ours, not the characters'.

Secondly, try other medical dramas. Grey's Anatomy is always a reliable friend. Though, be warned, it might make you cry even MORE.

Or branch out! New Amsterdam offers a slightly different, but equally addictive, brand of hospital chaos.

Final Thoughts (and More Unpopular Opinions)

Look, I love The Resident. I really do. But sometimes I think they cram too much into one episode.

Slow it down! Give us some character development that isn't tied to a life-or-death situation!

And for the love of all that is holy, can someone please get Devon a decent storyline that doesn't involve romantic angst? The man is a brilliant doctor!

So, while we patiently (or impatiently) await the next season, let's just agree that The Resident is worth the wait. Even if it does test our sanity.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to binge-watch Season 1...again.
