A spinoff of New Amsterdam, the beloved medical drama which bowed last year, is in development at NBC, Deadline reports. Creator/showrunner David Schulner is behind the sequel, which will follow Dr. Max Goodwin’s daughter, Luna Goodwin, as she takes over her father’s job at the hospital.
Fans saw Molly Griggs as Luna in a flash-forward in the series finale of New Amsterdam, though it hasn’t been confirmed if the actress will reprise her role in the spinoff. Schulner revealed that his decision to feature a grown-up Luna in the show’s final scene came from his 11-year-old daughter, who pitched him the idea.
“We opened the pilot essentially with Max in the auditorium and the first thing he says is, ‘My sister died here, I grew up here and this is why I wanted to work here,’' he recalled. “It felt fitting for Luna to be in that same auditorium and she got to say, ‘My mother died here. I grew up here and that's why I wanted to be a doctor here.’'
