During his interaction, Peter Elkoff shared that the medical drama will be undergoing major shifts in season 5 and it will focus on corruption in the medical field, for which The Resident is known. He mentioned that the decision about this was taken very early.

He also added that he and other producers are proud of the finale.

Peter Elkoff talked about the storyline of certain characters too. He added, that Chestnut won’t be a big presence in season 5 but he will return to wrap up his arc. Nic and Conrad welcomed their bundle of joy. Elkoff said that they are going to throw a couple of curveballs at them in The Resident season 5. The baby is going to be an important part of the fifth season and there are no more health scares. Talking about the Chastain Park Memorial Hospital, he shared that the next chapter in season 5 will come feature both the good and the bad of the pharma story.
