New Amsterdam (2018): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2018, New Amsterdam is a drama series. “Break the rules. Heal the system.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America's oldest public hospital. Max Goodwin sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care, but the doctors and staff are not so sure he can succeed. They've heard this before. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin's instinctive response to problems large and small is four simple words: "How can I help?" He has to disrupt the status quo and prove he'll stop at nothing to breathe new life into this underfunded and underappreciated hospital, returning it to the glory that put it on the map.

Who’s in it. New Amsterdam stars Ryan Eggold as Dr. Max Goodwin, Janet Montgomery as Dr. Lauren Bloom, Freema Agyeman as Dr. Helen Sharpe and Jocko Sims as Dr. Floyd Reynolds, among others.
