New Amsterdam episode 17 is coming in less than two weeks now and it will pick up where the previous episode left off, meaning Max and his colleagues will continue saving people despite the harsh weather. The next episode will focus on the effects of the storm among doctors and other people, including the limited resources, as well as the loss of power.
According to the synopsis of New Amsterdam episode 17, doctors are still dealing with the severe storm without power, so Max (Ryan Eggold) decided to rely on an "unlikely source" to bring back the lights. On the other note, Reynolds (Jocko Sims) needs to be creative while he continues saving Hugh with very few resources. Doctors take their job seriously and they need to save the lives of many patients under any circumstance. However, their situation isn't really ideal right now due to the blizzard, but they still need to make the most out of it to save many.
But, one thing that seems to be odd in New Amsterdam episode 17 is that Max relies on "unlikely source". So, what does this mean? Did he become friends with an electrician, but why does it become an unlikely source? As per CarterMatt, the episode could be the foundation of what's coming in the future and there's a chance that new episodes will be released per week.
New Amsterdam will reportedly end this coming May but the good news is that the medical drama series has been renewed for the second season. That's probably the reason why there's a huge period gap on every episode this season 1 as writers are taking a deep breath while focusing on what will happen on the future of the show. The series reportedly follows a method as well, it wanted to make sure there will be a solid and consistent run without any break before the first season ends.
Meanwhile, another reason for the hiatus of New Amsterdam is because NBC launched a new series titled The Village. The network promotes the show over the past few weeks, so the medical drama series was put on hold. But there's no need to worry since the program was already renewed for the second season and the renewal comes as NBC is confident that New Amsterdam has a lot of viewers and it performed really well this season.
New Amsterdam episode 17, titled "Sanctuary," will air on Tuesday, April 4, on NBC.
