Why isn’t New Amsterdam back tonight, Tuesday, April 7?
When New Amsterdam went on a break, we thought we were only waiting until Tuesday, April 7. That’s now changed. Why are we waiting longer?
When New Amsterdam went on a mini-hiatus a few weeks ago, the promo told us we only had to wait until Tuesday, Apr. 7. The show would return with a superflu storyline. Now everything has changed.
There isn’t a new episode on tonight anymore. We’re waiting until April 14, but it’s not the superflu episode. The show and network have both decided not to air the superflu episode just yet. Whether you agree with the decision or not, we’ll get the episode sometime in the spring or summer when the coronavirus pandemic comes to an end.

Instead, we’re jumping straight to the New Amsterdam Season 2 finale. Like the majority of finales this season, it’s not the intended finale. There were supposed to be a few more episodes left, but they hadn’t been filmed before filming on the show had to be shut down due to the health pandemic.
The storylines aren’t going to go to waste. NBC already renewed New Amsterdam for three more seasons, so once filming can take place again, we know that we’ll get more stories of Max, Iggy, and the many other doctors at New Amsterdam. Some of the episodes that were written for Season 2 are likely going to be included in Season 3, as long as they still fit the current politics and society views when filming can start again.
Tonight, we’re getting a rerun of “The Island.” This was the episode that saw Max and others head to the female prison, where they were shocked to learn of the treatment of the prisoners. However, it would also lead to trouble in the hospital when the prisoners went in search for revenge.
The rerun will air at an earlier time of 9/8c. The finale will also air at the new time next week.
New Amsterdam Season 2 finale will air on Apr. 14 at 9/8c on NBC.
