The Resident season 4 is happening on Fox, but its official release date remains uncertain at the moment. The wait could be a long one, considering the current global health crisis. The series may go into a different direction, especially since there are episodes that weren't aired in the third installment.

As for whether or not the team started working behind the scenes, it has been previously confirmed that the creative time is back at work. The recent Instagram post by executive producer Amy Holden Jones confirmed that work is being done for The Resident season 4.

What the creative team needs to do now is to figure out how to handle the episodes that weren't included in season 3. It can be recalled the series halted its production due to the coronavirus outbreak and was forced to deliver an alternative ending.

A lot of stories were left and needed to be explored and addressed in the upcoming season. Then after that, the team has to figure out the future of the series and what are the stories stored in for the characters. At the moment, however, there's no update as to when filming could begin.

Some speculated The Resident season 4 may start filming in fall. However, there is no guarantee to that, since everything depends on the current health state of the world. Right now, the health and safety of everyone is the top priority of every show out there.

And because of the potential filming delay, the release date of The Resident season 4 will be affected as well. There are still a lot of things to consider, such as measures being put in place to ensure the safety of cast and crew members.

As for what we can expect in the upcoming installment, Conrad and Nic's wedding might be featured. They are already engaged in the third installment, so they'll probably get married once the new season returns. Showrunner Todd Harthan also teased the likelihood of the ceremony in the future.

Speaking to TV Insider, Harthan said they talked in the writers' room how the wanted to execute it -- just like the proposal. He noted they had different versions and landed on a particular one, which they felt has its own fresh and unique execution.

Thus, Conrad and Nic's wedding may indeed happen in The Resident season 4. In season 3, we saw the two preparing for the event, which strongly implies it's coming in the future. Some speculated it may happen midway through the season -- which is a perfect story when February arrives.
