=Filming=
Filming for the series took place at New York City area hospitals including Bellevue Hospital and its surrounding area, Metropolitan Hospital Center, Woodhull Hospital, and Kings County Hospital Center. By October 2018, Universal Television had paid NYC Health + Hospitals, the corporation that oversees New York City's public hospitals, {{USD|665,000}} to film in the hospitals. Robert de Luna, a spokesman for Health + Hospitals, said certain areas that are "unoccupied and unstaffed... presents a great opportunity for a production company and a welcome source of revenue for our health system."{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2018/10/27/new-amsterdam-filming-pumps-money-into-citys-hospitals/|title='New Amsterdam' filming pumps money into city's hospitals|last=Klein|first=Melissa|work=New York Post|date=October 27, 2018|access-date=March 26, 2020|archive-date=November 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129142451/https://nypost.com/2018/10/27/new-amsterdam-filming-pumps-money-into-citys-hospitals/|url-status=live}}

Reception
=Critical response=
On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 34% based on reviews from 32 critics, with an average rating of 5.83 out of 10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Overcrowded, overwrought, and overly familiar, New Amsterdam plays more like an exquisite corpse of pre-existing shows than a breakthrough for the genre – though that may be enough for medical drama devotees."{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/new_amsterdam_2018/s01 |title=New Amsterdam: Season 1 |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes |access-date=January 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190109031144/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/new_amsterdam_2018/s01|archive-date=January 9, 2019|url-status=live}} On Metacritic, the series has a weighted average score of 47 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/new-amsterdam-2018 |title=New Amsterdam: Season 1 |publisher=Metacritic|access-date=September 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180927203647/https://www.metacritic.com/tv/new-amsterdam-2018|archive-date=September 27, 2018|url-status=live}}
Michael Starr of the New York Post wrote: "New Amsterdam will satisfy fans of the genre. It's somewhat predictable, with a moderate dose of prime-time soapiness. But with Eggold's strong performance and an interesting supporting cast, this show could be the right prescription to attract a following."{{cite news |date=September 19, 2018 |last=Starr |first=Michael |title='New Amsterdam' could propel Ryan Eggold to leading-man status |url=https://nypost.com/2018/09/19/new-amsterdam-could-propel-ryan-eggold-to-leading-man-status/ |newspaper=New York Post |access-date=February 21, 2021 |archive-date=May 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210516192624/https://nypost.com/2018/09/19/new-amsterdam-could-propel-ryan-eggold-to-leading-man-status/ |url-status=live }}
Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "It is as baldly manipulative and corny as heck—the pilot ends with a Coldplay song—and even a little ridiculous.

Potential spin-off
In January 2020, NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy said, "There is a potential for a spinoff. I can imagine a whole world around New Amsterdam." At that time, Nellie Andreeva of Deadline Hollywood added that no conversations were happening, but members of the production were open to the possibility because of the depth of New Amsterdam characters and stories that could be explored with a spin-off.{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2020/01/new-amsterdam-spinoff-possibility-nbc-1202827951/|title='New Amsterdam' Spinoff A Possibility Following Big Three-Season Renewal |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |work=Deadline Hollywood |date=January 11, 2020|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112011018/https://deadline.com/2020/01/new-amsterdam-spinoff-possibility-nbc-1202827951/ |archive-date=January 12, 2020|url-status=live}}
