Warning, the following lines contain spoilers for the final episode of New Amsterdam Season 4. If you don’t want to know anything, move on!
The final two episodes of Season 4 of New Amsterdam air on TF1 this Wednesday, December 6, marking a farewell to the famous hospital’s doctors. The iconic character really hangs up his blouse in this emotion-filled, twist-filled finale.
Freema Agyeman, who has played Dr. Helen Sharp since the launch of New Amsterdam, actually announced a few months before Season 5 aired that she would not be returning for this new run of episodes. It must be said that the last episode left the door open for the possible departure of the actor.
After a season where the couple pursues a new relationship, moving to London due to work and health issues, Max (Ryan Eggold) and Helen are finally ready to say “Yes” in the last episode.
But just before he’s due to fly to their wedding venue in New York, a storm throws their plan into question. As the storm passes, Max receives a message from his fiancee telling him that he cannot marry her.
Why did Freema Agyeman leave New Amsterdam?
It was through an Instagram post that Helen’s translator decided to let her fans know she was leaving New Amsterdam. “Dear New Amsterdam family. First of all, I want to thank you for your continuous, unconditional and deliciously fierce support!“, he wrote.
“What an adventure! Thank you for participating with me. It was such a joy to play Dr. Helen Sharp for 4 seasons – the wonderful writers managed to create a villain! I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to tell some of his stories! I love you !“
Freema Agyeman decided to say goodbye to his new Amsterdam comrades in order to move on to other projects. At the time of announcing his departure, the actor began filming Dreamland, an English TV series in which he stars alongside singer Lily Allen. The date of transmission is unknown at this time.
Freema Agyeman’s absence in season 5 of New Amsterdam, which is also the last in the medical series, will obviously have a significant impact on the life of Max, who will have to rebuild himself after this unexpected breakup. Will the Doctor be able to find love again? The answer in Season 5, which starts this Wednesday, December 6 on TF1.
