A major Fox series has been officially canceled after six seasons - and it’s fair to say that the show’s fans are disappointed! EW revealed that The Resident, a popular medical drama, will end after six seasons. 

The news comes after the latest season revealed the show’s latest viewership so far, with a 27 per cent decrease in viewership from season five. Eagle-eyed fans had already guessed that the news may have been coming after spotting props on the show sold in a prop liquidation sale back in March.

Taking to Twitter to discuss, one person wrote: "My favorite show ending is the worst thing in the world. I am sad and heartbroken this show brought me so much happiness," while another person added: "Only real friends texted me to make sure I was okay after this news."

The cancelation comes two years after Captain America: Civil War star Emily VanCamp left the show following season four. In an interview with Deadline, she said: "I loved doing The Resident so much for the four years I was on it.

"There’s nothing but love and respect between all of us and this decision was not an easy one for anybody but it was the right one for me, personally. I’m grateful that I was met with understanding and compassion." Other Fox shows including 911 and 911: Lone Star have yet to receive news of renewal or cancelation just yet - so we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
