New Amsterdam creator/showrunner David Schulner and executive producer Peter Horton also spoke about the actress’ exit from the NBC drama:
“We wish Freema the best of luck on her next chapter and the doors of New Amsterdam will always be open if she wishes to return! We are extremely proud of the impact Freema and Dr. Helen Sharpe have made over these past four seasons and are so grateful to have been a part of that story. As we head into the fifth and final season, we want our #Sharpwin fans to know we still have a few surprises in store for them.”
New Amsterdam returns to NBC on September 20th. The series will wrap up with 13 episodes.
