The Untold Truth Of New Amsterdam

Like many television shows that have been in production during the COVID-1, "New Amsterdam" was affected by the pandemic. In "New Amsterdam's" case, the pandemic forced the show to shelve an entire episode.

The episode, titled "Pandemic," dealt with a fictional flu outbreak at New Amsterdam hospital. It was scheduled to air on April 7, just weeks after COVID-19 reached pandemic conditions in the US. Worse, the episode's guest star, Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost") tested positive before the episode was set to air. One of the show's writers and three of its cast members also tested positive at the same time (via Deadline).

In the end, NBC decided not to throw out the episode entirely. It was renamed "Our Doors Are Always Open," and it will run some time in the future. At the time, "New Amsterdam" had just been renewed for three seasons, so there's plenty of time.
