When you watch New Amsterdam season 5 online (yes, you don't need cable), you see the end of the last season, which has already started with a surprise for Dr. Lauren Bloom. But, yes, Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) is returning to New Amsterdam Medical Center, one of the oldest public hospitals, but this is the show's last run.
New Amsterdam season 5 episode 2 airs on Tuesday (Sept. 27)

This time around, though, he has to do it all without his now ex-fiancée Helen Sharpe. Not only did Freema Agyeman leave the show (for now), but their relationship is pretty broken at the moment.
Max is also dealing with the impact of Helen's exit for his young daughter Luna (Opal Chow), as he realizes his personal love life has to come second to her needs. So, while Max focuses on being a dad, he won't have a lack of work at New Amsterdam.
Meanwhile, family is the big word for everyone else at New Amsterdam too. Lauren's sister Vanessa (Kathryn Prescott) is the wild child of the family, and is bringing all sorts of chaos. Floyd (Jocko Sims) has just found the estranged father he's been searching for, and looks to catch up on lost time.
The season premiere, though, saw Lauren face a surprising moment, as Leyla's told her that she's seeing someone new. This all happened after Lauren had to ask her ex if she could stay in her spare room.
