The Resident is no more at Fox.
The network has canceled its medical drama after six seasons. The decision comes nearly three months after The Resident, produced by Disney’s 20th Television, finished its 13-episode sixth season.
Speculation about the show’s fate has swirled since the season — the shortest of the show’s six — ended. The Resident had its lowest-rated season to date among adults 18-49, averaging a 0.53 rating in the key ad demographic over seven days of viewing (versus 0.7 last season). According to Fox, the show’s cross-platform audience of 6.9 million viewers was down 12 percent from the 2021-22 season.
When The Resident premiered in January 2018, 20th TV was still part of the 21st Century Fox family that included the broadcast network. A month earlier, though, Fox and Disney had agreed to a $71 billion sale of the studio and several cable assets to Disney; that deal closed in 2019.

The New Hampshire band were a trio of sisters whose musical efforts were masterminded by their father and who recorded just one studio album, 1969′s crude and bizarre Philosophy of the World.

Have you heard of The Shaggs? Depending on whom you ask, they were either the greatest thing to come out of 1960s rock n' roll, or the very worst. Urged by their father to form a band, The Shaggs was made up of sisters Dorothy, Betty, and Helen Wiggin, who played lead guitar, rhythm guitar, and drums respectively. Though the only ever released one studio album, 1969's Philosophy of the World, the group's unconventional and atonal music eventually found appreciators in the likes of such groundbreaking musicians as Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa. And now, they are getting a biopic thanks to Ken Kwapis. Deadline reports the director of such comedies as He's Just Not That Into You and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is developing a movie musical based on the off-Broadway stage production The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World.
