If you turned on the TV tonight hoping to catch a new episode of The Resident, you were in for quite the surprise.
The medical drama did not air a new episode this week, October 26.
That’s quite a bummer considering The Resident Season 5 Episode 5 — the show’s annual Halloween episode — featured a jaw-dropping time-jump that brought the staff of Chastain three years into the future.
Right before the reveal, the series also gave Conrad, his co-workers, and fans, closure to Nic’s death.
Since the series is taking a little break, we’ll have to wait to see what everyone is up to several years down the road.
When can we expect new episodes?
The short answer is that the upcoming episode will air after the World Series.
If you’re not a sports fan, you might find yourself wondering when that is.
The October 26 episode was preempted by Game 1 of the World Series.
The earliest the show could return is Tuesday, November 2. That’s if and only if the World Series wraps up within five games or less.
However, if it spans six games, The Resident will return with a new episode on November 9.
Basically, you’re going to have to pay attention to sports for the next few weeks to ensure that you don’t miss The Resident Season 5 Episode 6.
Here’s the synopsis for the episode to get you excited about what’s to come, although, I know you’re probably still buzzing from the major twist.
“Conrad brings a patient into the hospital who causes a high-security crisis; an MMA brawl sends a well-known fighter to Chastain and all hands are on deck; Bell and Raptor vie for the same position at the hospital; Leela gets a visit from her sister.”
