The Resident
Spoiler & Speculation
Thread #1

The potential series — written and EP’d by Amy Holden Jones (ABC’s Black Box), and Code Black duo Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi — centers on Devon Pravesh (played by Halt and Catch Fire‘s Manish Dayal), an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day under the supervision of a tough, brilliant senior resident, Conrad Hawkins (played by Czuchry), who pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern day medicine. Lives may be saved or lost, but expectations will always be shattered.

Filming: TBD

Cast:

- Matt Czuchry as Conrad Hawkins
- Manish Dayal as Devon Pravesh
- Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Soloman Bell

• Fast first pitched to Showtime in Augusst 2016
• Previously called 'The City'
• The City centers on an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day of residency under the supervision of a senior resident who appears tough and brilliant, but turns out to be a cunning and deadly psychopath. The project’s take on the medical drama genre is being compared to what The Shield did for police procedurals.
• Pilot order for Fox on January 30th
• Matt is the co-lead of the show, next to Manish Dayal.
