It looks like FOX’s New Amsterdam has a release date!
According to SciFiWire:
“On March 4, New Amsterdam debuts with a special preview at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by a second preview hour on March 6 in the same timeslot. The show then moves to its regular Monday timeslot at 9 p.m. on March 10. New Amsterdam finishes its run on April 7 with a two-hour finale.
In the series, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays John Amsterdam, a former Dutch soldier stationed in the colony of New Amsterdam (the original name for New York) in 1642. When he saves the life of a Native American girl during the massacre of her tribe, he is granted immortality. He will only become mortal again when he finds his true love, he is told. Flash forward to the present day, where Amsterdam is a New York homicide detective who must hide his secret while searching for the one who can break the spell.”
This is the first I’ve heard of it and I’m definitely going to be checking it out.
I found the pilot to be extremely solid and well written.

This show sounds really good.
