The irony of “New Amsterdam” being canceled due to weak ratings is that it’s done wonderfully for Netflix since its final season hit the streamer in the mid-winter of 2023. The show pulled in a staggering 1 billion streams between Netflix and Peacock in mid-February and pulled in 4 billion streams in late January and early February. Those are enormous numbers for a show that barely garnered 7 million viewers in +7 numbers.
“New Amsterdam” is so popular internationally that a Turkish remake of the series was launched in the fall of 2022. In fact, the show’s general enduring appeal has resulted in Peter Horton — one of the show’s executive producers and directors — to express his confusion about the show’s cancellation in a January Deadline interview. “It’s a bit of a mystery as to why it was canceled, to tell you the truth,” he said. He also firmly believed that there was more life in “New Amsterdam” and that it died a premature death. “I still think this thing could have, should have run for another couple years. There are still so many stories to tell and these characters are so interesting,” he added. And those Netflix numbers just underline his point.
