Per deadline, Morris Chestnut (Rosewood, The Enemy Within) has joined The Resident as series regular for its third season.
In the upcoming season, Red Rock Mountain Medical has taken control of Chastain Memorial Hospital. The doctors are faced with their hardest fight yet against the corrupting influence of money in health care. As each new case enters the hospital, this justice league of courageous young physicians will put their futures and careers on the line to stop “profit over patients.”
Chestnut will play Dr. Barrett Cain, an intimidating neurosurgeon hired by Red Rock Medical to turn around Chastain’s finances. Cain believes himself to be a superman physician, capable of curing crippling diseases. He’s charming when he wants to be but utterly ruthless in his quest for money and power. His ability to exact swift revenge on any who oppose him will put the good doctors at Chastain in jeopardy.
