One last ride! After four years on NBC, one last ride! New AmsterdamIts fifth and final season is almost over.
Max (above) is the first to appear in the season 5 premiere.Ryan EggoldHelen (Freema Agyeman) finally got the chance to explore a romantic relationship — which came with its own set of ups and downs. Eggold suggested that the couple would live happily ever after at the time.
“I think they trust each other. I think they just know that the other person has their back no matter what,” the actor exclusively told Us WeeklyApril 2022. “And I think that they’ve sort of had intimacy before they were romantic. They grew very close as colleagues when Max was married, and then I think they grew even closer in the aftermath of losing his wife.”
The California native also teased what is still yet to come, adding, “[Being a mom]It has been important to [Helen’s] character. It’s certainly important to Max, in terms of having this sweet little girl, Luna. It’s very important to him to find a mom for his daughter, and a partner for [himself]. I think Luna needs a female role-model and caregiver. He wants to be a family, so that’s potentially in their cards.”
Eggold explained that Helen would be dealing with a “big change” that “affects” her connection with Max. “It’s a challenge that I won’t spoil, but I think it’s a surprise that’s coming that they have to navigate. It’s something really new to deal with,” he hinted to Us.
One month later, fans were stunned when Helen left Max at his altar. The twists kept coming until Agyeman revealed that she would not be returning for the final season.

Agyeman continued: “While I am saddened, I am also incredibly excited to see how the story concludes as a fan of the series. It has been such a joy to play Dr. Helen Sharpe for 4 seasons — those writers built a badass! We are beyond grateful to have had the chance to tell her stories.
