The New Amsterdam sequel will include a time-jump
New Amsterdam: Tomorrow, the current title for the in-development series, would take place 30 years after the events of the fifth and final season of New Amsterdam. The show ended in 2023, placing the sequel some time in the 2050s. Because of the time jump, viewers will be follow the grown-up version of Dr. Max Goodwin’s (Ryan Eggold) daughter, Luna Goodwin. Like her father, Luna will assume the role of Medical Director at New Amsterdam hospital.
This being the future, she will face a different set of challenges than her father, and Deadline reports that the new series will explore the ways Artificial Intelligence affects the medical industry. New Amsterdam: Tomorrow is being created by David Shulner, who also created and oversaw the original series.
The sequel was set up in the New Amsterdam series finale
If you watched New Amsterdam all the way to the end, you've already met adult Luna, played by Molly Griggs. However as of now, neither Eggold nor Griggs are attached to the project.

From what viewers have seen of the character, Luna is as enthusiastic and passionate as her father. In the series finale, she reflects on Max's lessons in a speech to her staff.
“Over the course of the day I saw how hard he worked to save one life,” she says. “And how hard everybody worked, together. And that’s when I realized that New Amsterdam didn’t take my father away from me. This hospital gave me my father. Showed me who he was, who I could be. And that’s the day I realized I wanted to be just like him. It’s the day I realized I wanted to be a doctor. So I wanted to start by asking all of you the same thing my father asked his staff every hour of every single day: How can I help?”
Young Luna was played on New Amsterdam by twins Nora and Opal Clow. She is the daughter of Max and Georgia Goodwin (Lisa O'Hare), who delivered her daughter in the back of an ambulance and only got to hold her for a moment before the vehicle was involved in a collision. Georgia died from her injuries shortly thereafter.
