LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fox has revoked the popular medical drama series, 'The Resident', after six seasons, making it the first show the network has canceled in 2023. The network cited a decline in ratings over the years as the reason for the cancellation.

Created by Amy Holden Jones, Roshan Sethi, and Hayley Schore, the Matt Czuchry starrer 'The Resident' was a dark medical drama that focused on an idealistic young doctor starting his residency under the tutelage of a senior resident who initially seemed tough and brilliant, but was ultimately revealed to be a cunning and deadly psychopath.
