What’s new in season five?
The Resident Season Five will pick up exactly where The Resident Season Four left off, with a powerful message that is both timely and important. The show tackled the opioid crisis in season four, but this time around, they’re bringing attention to an even bigger problem – mental health issues across America.
A major theme of The Resident’s fifth season comes from Lea’s own experience working in The White House with mental health initiatives, which makes her a perfect fit for the role she plays on The Resident Season Five.
