The Resident has flatlined. Fox has canceled the veteran medical drama after a six-season run, nearly three months after it aired its sixth season finale. The series was a middling player for Fox, with a 0.34 average that put it ahead of numerous already-renewed shows on Fox, including The Cleaning Lady and Alert. However, the show was in its precarious sixth season, the point in which actors' contracts typically need to be renegotiated in order for a show to continue. Its ratings were not enough to encourage Fox to continue with the series, with its lack of ownership by Fox likely also helping to doom the Amy Holden Jones production. Rumors of the cancelation began swirling last month, when pieces of the set were auctioned off. With 107 episodes to its name, it was Fox's live action series with the most episodes to its name of their current programming lineup. Matt Czuchry, Manish Dayal, Bruce Greeenwood, Malcolm Jamal Warner and Jane Leeves starred in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
