With 4 successful seasons, The Resident is back with its fifth blockbuster season on Fox, The fifth season is yet to feature on Netflix around the globe. The show was initially scheduled to release on Showtime but instead ended up on Fox where it has released new seasons every year since its release in 2018.
The Season 5 of the show was released on the 21st of September and is set to have 23 episodes. The show is a mixture of House and Grey’s anatomy and is set in a hospital where a young doctor is learning from the best in the business.
Why is the Resident not on Netflix in the United States?
If you are reading this then that means you have realized that the series is now on Netflix.
The show was first distributed by 20th Television before it was moved under the Disney- ABC Domestic Television banner.
Netflix in the United States and Fox broke all ties in the summer of 2017 and since then lost most of the Network’s biggest shows like Family Guy and Prison Break. Most of the titles moved to Hulu which is also a streaming home for The Resident with all of its Five seasons available on the platform.
With the head-to-head competition between Netflix and Disney, it is most unlikely for Disney to license out the Resident to any other network.
But there is nothing to worry about because you can watch similar shows like Grey’s anatomy, The Night Shift, Chicago Med, and Private Practice on the Streamer.
