As a fan who has journeyed through countless medical dramas and binge-watched the apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead, I must say that The Resident stands out as a unique and captivating addition to my TV rotation. The series, starring Manish Dayal from Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol, has proven itself to be a formidable player in the realm of medical dramas, attracting millions of viewers on Netflix within its first two weeks.
The show titled “The Resident” is a medical drama that debuted on Fox back in 2018 and wrapped up with its sixth season in 2023. In this series, we see Manish Dayal, a fresh face in the universe of “The Walking Dead,” playing Ash in the highly acclaimed spinoff series called “Daryl Dixon’s Carol Chronicles“.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that “The Resident” was ingeniously crafted by Amy Holden Jones, renowned for her work on “The Slumber Party Massacre.” Collaborating with Hayley Shore and Roshan Sethi, this captivating series initially found its home at Showtime. However, it was later acquired by Fox, who greenlit a full 14-episode season.
The series follows Dr. Conrad Hawkins, a charming and arrogant doctor who is quite unconventional. Hawkins is portrayed by Matt Czuchry, who is known for his roles in Gillmore Girls and The Good Wife. He enjoys shattering any grandiose illusions of the profession in his first-year residents at the fictional Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Hawkins’ character is offset by Dr. Devon Pravesh, a doctor who follows his moral compass. Pravesh is played by Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol actor Manish Dayal.

A number of performers made multiple appearances on the show, such as Violett Beane, Jocko Sims, Moran Atias, Michael Weston, Jenna Dewan, Julianna Guill, Daniella Alonso, David Alan Grier, Rob Yang, and others. It’s worth noting that Ian Anthony Dale from “The Walking Dead,” who played Tomi in season 11, was also part of the final season of this series.
Fans are speculating whether the show might make a comeback on Netflix, given its popularity. Despite mixed reviews from critics, audiences seem to hold a far more optimistic view of the series.
During an interview with TV Insider, Dayal was questioned about the possibility of a remake or renewal of The Resident.
You better believe it. I would love it. It would be great for all of us to reunite and come together in a spinoff or something like that. Seeing how The Walking Dead has done it has been very creative. We would love to do it and I’m sure everyone would be down to play together again. It would be a lot of fun.
I can’t help but admire Dayal for his exceptional performance in the 2014 movie “The Hundred-Foot Journey”, sharing the screen with the legendary Helen Mirren, Om Puri, and Charlotte Le Bon. This captivating dramedy is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video. The plot revolves around the Kadam family who embark on a new journey from India to France, setting up their restaurant right opposite Madame Mallory’s prestigious Michelin-starred dining establishment.
He has also starred in Viceroy’s House, CSI-Miami, Rubicon, Law & Order Criminal Intent, and The Good Wife.
