Main
- Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Theodore Hawkins: the titular Resident who is a third-year resident (later attending physician) in Internal Medicine at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. A former Navy Corpsman who served with the Marines in Afghanistan, which is where he learned some of his unconventional medical techniques. It is mentioned that Hawkins suffers from PTSD.
- In season 3, he also gets a job as the team doctor for Georgia FC. At the beginning of the series, he and Dr. Bell often clash with different medical practices each uses and the cost of treatment but over time they seem to mend fences and work quite well together. Hawkins is quite close with his resident Devon Pravesh despite the personality clash in the pilot with the latter being a recent eager Harvard medical grad and Hawkins being a doctor who due to his military background uses "cowboy medicine", with Pravesh going so far as to call him crazy to Nic in the pilot.
- Hawkins and nurse practitioner Nic Nevin had a relationship prior to the start of the series until Nic broke up with him due to him not being able to share his feelings with her and open up to her and his sometimes reckless behavior, especially after Nic had a miscarriage (prior to the series start). Even though broken up, it is clear that the two still have feelings for each other with Hawkins even saying in the pilot that he would do anything to get her back. By the end of season 1, they get back together. In the season 4 premiere, they get married and later have a daughter, Georgiana Grace "Gigi" Nevin Hawkins. Following Nic’s death in season 5, Hawkins quits his job at Chastain and starts working as a concierge doctor for the next three years to have more time with his daughter until returning to Chastain.
- Hawkins eventually starts to develop feelings for Billie (One of Nic’s best friends) in season 5 (after the three-year time jump). After an unsuccessful relationship with Kincaid Sullivan in Season 6, the two finally admit their feelings to each other and get together and are still together by series end.
- Emily VanCamp (seasons 1–5) as Nicolette 'Nic' Marie Nevin: a nurse practitioner at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. She is Conrad's love interest, and later his wife. A caring and compassionate nurse, Nic will go the extra mile for her patients.
- In season 1, she is arrested and framed by Dr. Lane Hunter, after she discovers that Hunter is giving chemotherapy to healthy people and telling them that they have cancer to make a profit. The framing is discovered, and Nic is exonerated by the end of season 1. It is revealed that Nic's mother died when she was young and that her younger sister is a drug addict who is quite dependent on Nic. In season 2, after years of drug abuse, Nic’s sister needs a kidney transplant. Not being a match with her, and unable to find a kidney, Nic can convince her undependable father to donate his, and the two start to rebuild their relationship. Even though with the kidney transplant, Nic’s sister passes away in the season 3 premiere. Nic is quite close to Dr. Mina Okafor until the former had to return to Nigeria. Later in the series, she is best friends with Dr. Billie Sutton. It is revealed that the two have been best friends since they were kids.
- Prior to the start of the series, she and Conrad were in a relationship and were even expecting to have a baby together. But after a miscarriage and Conrad’s not being able to open up to her and his reckless behavior, she breaks up with him. It is clear from the pilot the two still very much have feelings for each other. She tries to move on with Dr. Jude Silva, a trauma surgeon at Chastain and Conrad’s old Marines buddy, but it doesn’t work out due to her feelings for Conrad. By the end of season 1, she and Conrad get back together. In season 4, she and Conrad get married and later discover that she is pregnant. Not long after finding out she is pregnant, Nic gets attacked by a patient and nearly dies, but she and Conrad's unborn child survives. Nic and Conrad have a daughter, Georgiana Grace "Gigi" Nevin Hawkins, at the end of season 4. In season 5, Nic dies after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a car crash, leaving Conrad and Chastain devastated.

A Harvard College and Yale Medical School grad, Devon is shocked and amazed by Conrad's unconventional medical practices in the pilot, going as far as to ask for a replacement resident. Eventually, Conrad rubs off on him and Devon becomes an excellent and capable doctor.
- After the time jump in season 5, Devon becomes an attending at Chastain before leaving that position to focus on running clinical trials. In the beginning of the series, he is engaged to an Indian woman named Priya, but after a brief fling with a medical pharmaceutical representative in season 2, he realizes that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with her and calls off the wedding. By season 5, he is in a long-term relationship with Leela Devi, whom he calls “the love of his life”. In Season 6, they become engaged.

Development
In August 2016, it was announced that Showtime was developing a new original series, known as The City, pitched by executive producer Antoine Fuqua.[20] The series was described at the time as "a dark medical drama [that] centers around an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day of residency under the supervision of a senior resident who appears tough and brilliant, but turns out to be a cunning and deadly psychopath."[21] It was also announced that Amy Holden Jones would produce the series and co-write the pilot episode along with Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi.[22] The series, however, was never produced and on January 20, 2017, it was reported that Fox purchased the series from Showtime and ordered a pilot episode under the name The Resident.[1] On May 10, 2017, the series received a season order of 14 episodes.[2] The series premiered on January 21, 2018.[3] Phillip Noyce, an executive producer for the series, directed the first two episodes of the season after signing a multi-year deal with 20th Century Fox Television.[23] The first season officially concluded on May 14, 2018.[24]

Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 59% based on 22 reviews for the show's first season, with an average rating of 6.10/10. The site’s consensus reads: “With sporadic amusement and a handful of decent performances, The Resident drifts between medical melodrama and hospital horror with often unintentionally funny results.”.[104] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 54 out of 100 based on reviews from 12 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[105]
USA Today rated the series 1.5 out of 4 stars stating "It's a shame, because it's a waste of the talents of Czuchry and VanCamp (Revenge), two usually appealing TV veterans" and "The Resident can't save itself".[106] Meanwhile, TVLine rated the series a B+ and said: "The Resident takes a hard look at the thorny ethical issues surrounding today's health-care providers."[107] The first season was also often compared to ABC's medical drama, The Good Doctor.[108][109] The series was unpopular with some in the medical profession, with various sources calling it grossly unrealistic.[110][111]
