Transplant ended in a mysterious note where Dr. Bashir Hamed and her younger sister reconciled with a Syrian woman. It hints that nothing would be peaceful in the sibling’s life in Transplant Season 2. But, the pleasant news is Torri Higginson is all set to return as series regular for the next season. Now, let’s see what would happen in the upcoming outing.
Transplant, created by Joseph Kay, is a medical drama that launched in 2020. It revolves around Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq), a doctor from Syria who relocated to Canada during the Syrian Civil War. He settled as a refugee there while working as a line cook at a Middle Eastern restaurant. But soon, Bash decided to pursue his career in the medical. Now, Bash is rebuilding his career in the fictional York Memorial Hospital in Toronto in the emergency department.
Last year, NBC renewed Transplant Season 2. The first season debuted stateside in September to fill New Amsterdam’s plot. Traditionally, New Amsterdam closes out Tuesday nights on NBC. But due to the pandemic, the show pushed to midseason. Thus, Transplant acquired the slot and earned 4 million total viewers crossing America’s Got Talent’s viewership. Further, the show ranked an average of 3.5 million across thirteen episodes which turned out the best number up to date.
The series also achieved the television’s most time-shifted show ever. It soon ranked the No. 1 position in Live+3 the first week of its debut. Further, on average, the show scored 7.7 million viewers more than its first day. So, considering its huge success, the network soon renewed it for the second run.
