Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Tuesday New Amsterdam. Proceed at your own risk!
The very last episode of New Amsterdam began with a surprise announcement: Max left the hospital to work for the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The big move was part of his plan to dedicate more time to his daughter Luna, which must have worked because in the show’s final scene, New Amsterdam’s new medical director addressed her staff and revealed that she is Luna coming of age and of legal age is loaded and will be played by Molly Griggs (Servant, Prodigal Son) in the future!
In modern times, Max’s decision to take the new job abruptly ended his relationship with Elizabeth Wilder. But Max was determined to make Luna the center of his life, even if that meant leaving behind all the things he loves, he told Elizabeth. As he handed her the keys to New Amsterdam, he reassured her that it wouldn’t be for the hospital if he came back. But technically he’s single, so does that mean there’s hope for #Sharpwin? (More on that below.)
Elsewhere in the series ending, Iggy and Martin married in a small family-only ceremony presided over by Gladys. Vanessa reached out to Lauren at an NA meeting; and Floyd seemed to have finally convinced a woman he loves to stay in New York.
Below, showrunner/executive producer David Schulner and EP/director Peter Horton explain the finale’s Luna twist and whether Max’s ambiguous romantic ending leaves the door open to him and Helen reuniting. Also, scroll down to rate the series finale!
