There are a few spinoff shows and pilots in contention for the 2025–2026 TV season. NBC has been extremely quiet about a lot of its shows, even the current ones, but one of the spinoffs we hope to see happen is the New Amsterdam spinoff series.
Tentatively titled New Amsterdam: Tomorrow, the series was set to follow Max’s grown-up daughter, Luna, who has followed in her father’s footsteps and turned to medicine. At the end of New Amsterdam season 5, we found out that she would one day become the new medical director, and she made a similar impact to her father in the series premiere.
Set 30 years after the series finale of the medical drama, there is also a chance to see how technology could change the medical world. This series is set to look at how artificial intelligence could change the way everything works in hospitals, but there are sure to be many of the same issues, such as the financial costs of medical care and the number of trained doctors and nurses in hospitals.
As of right now, there has been no decision made about the series. TVLine reported in its Inside Line that NBC has remained quiet about the decision, even when asked direct questions about it.
This means fans of the original medical drama will need to wait until the Upfronts, which are set to take place on Monday, May 12. This is when the full fall schedule will be announced and when trailers for freshman shows are released.
The announcement about the series could happen shortly before it. NBC tends to do some bulk decisions — both renewals and cancellations — on the Thursday or Friday before Upfronts, so we could get a lot of news at the end of the week.
While it’s concerning and disappointing that there’s a lack of news, there is a bit of a silver lining. It means that there is still a chance that the series will happen.
NBC is still to make decisions about the bulk of its shows. The One Chicago franchise finally landed renewals, but eyes are still on the Law & Order franchise, Found, Brilliant Minds, Grosse Pointe Garden Society, and much more.
We could see New Amsterdam: Tomorrow up against Brilliant Minds, as they are both quirky medical dramas. NBC will want to see if the spinoff series will hold up better in the linear ratings compared to Brilliant Minds, which did okay but not great in its fall 2024 slot.
The NBC Upfronts take place on Monday, May 12.
