The Resident season 4 is coming on Fox, but its official release date remains uncertain as of this writing. Despite the potential delay, the series will still deliver a lot of interesting stories once it premieres. The real-life health crisis, in particular, could be the focus of the upcoming new installment.
The Resident season 4 will likely tackle some of the relevant issues today, specifically the pandemic. The medical drama series could tell stories about how nurses and doctors deal with the health crisis and how real-life health has altered everyone's life.
In a recent interview with the Us Weekly, executive producter Amy Holden Jones has something to say about this particular subject. She revealed that the premiere would deal with the early days of the outbreak and will focus on its impact on doctors and nurses as they risk their lives every day.
Jones added that they didn't need to bring outside consultants to learn more about the pandemic since they have a doctor and nurse on their writing staff. The premiere episode is written by M.D. Eric Lu and Dr. Daniela Lamas, who is also working in an ICU in Boston.
Jones also revealed they have an on-set nurse who's been volunteering in Texas and New York City. She, then, noted that their stories are "moving, deep, and tragic," and they're hoping to share with everyone what they have learned amid the real-life health crisis.
These stories may not be told in just one episode, especially since it is a relevant issue and a lot of people are dealing with it. The early run of The Resident season 4 could focus on telling stories about the real-life health crisis and its effect on the medical community.
But, beyond this story, the new season may also feature the wedding of Conrad and Nic, who have been engaged in season 3. We saw the two preparing for the event, which strongly implies it could happen at some point in the series.
Meanwhile, Fox hasn't yet revealed the official release date of The Resident season 4. The good thing is that the creative team is back to work, with Jones posting on her Instagram confirming that the working is being done for the upcoming installment.
As for when could The Resident season 4 start filming, some suggest it could begin in fall. However, there's no guarantee it will be followed since everything depends on the current situation. Some things are subjected to change and everyone could start working when the situation gets better.
