The theme for The Resident season 6 is "defiance is the best medicine," according to the tagline for the upcoming season of Fox’s fast-paced medical drama.
If the show has taught us anything over the years, it’s to expect the unexpected. The doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital have seen love and loss, horrible disasters and incredible miracles. There’s a lot to look forward to in the new season as the doctors find themselves at a crossroads in their personal lives as much as their professional lives.
Here’s everything we know about The Resident season 6.
