After a turbulent year of sacrifice and hardship, Medical Director Max Goodwin and the team at New Amsterdam begin a well-deserved new chapter in their lives. The opening episode, titled "More Joy," reflects both the drive of characters and the tone of Season 4. More joy: How can we find it, and how can we hold on to it? 

For Max, that means acknowledging and surrendering to his long-simmering feelings towards Dr. Helen Sharpe. While this new relationship brings its own set of challenges, Max continues his optimistic - and quixotic - quest to improve our nation's health care system.

Continuing to navigate their own personal journeys - including Dr. Bloom's relationship with Dr. Leyla Shinwari, who is now her resident, Dr. Frome's new career and Dr. Reynolds' personal entanglements - the doctors will strive to embrace the joy and successes in their lives. 

But there is a surprise in store for our heroes. Dr. Veronica Fuentes is joining the New Amsterdam team to help turn around the overburdened and underfunded hospital. Her first order of business will be to tear down every progressive program Max has erected. Max will have his work cut out for him if he is going to outwit this calm, poised and fearless fixer.

"New Amsterdam" is inspired by Dr. Eric Manheimer's memoir "Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital" and his 15 years as medical director at the hospital.

The cast includes Ryan Eggold, Janet Montgomery, Freema Agyeman and Jocko Sims, with Tyler Labine. Michelle Forbes guest stars as Dr. Fuentes. David Schulner and Peter Horton executive produce along with Michael Slovis, David Foster, Aaron Ginsburg, Erika Green Swafford and Shaun Cassidy. "New Amsterdam" is produced by Universal Television, Pico Creek Productions and Mount Moriah.
