Anupam Kher’s New Amsterdam comes to India!

The versatile actor who has been hugely appreciated for his role of a Neurologist Dr Vijay Kapoor is excited about the show having its India launch on 13th October on Colors Infinity at 10 pm.

After the overwhelming response to the show in the USA, the global actor is glad about his show making it to the small screens in India.

Interestingly, the highly-anticipated show has been picked up for the full season. Instead of getting picked up for 13 episodes, the makers of the show are going ahead with 22 episodes which rarely happens with shows within three weeks of its airing.

Anupam Kher informs, “I’m really happy that New Amsterdam will now be telecast in India so that my countrymen will get the chance to watch the show. I’m humbled and deeply honoured with the great response the show has been receiving in the USA. Also, it's great that the show has been picked up for 22 episodes.”

Such has been the popularity of the show that it has generated fourth biggest total viewership on NBC. Interestingly, the second episode which was aired on Tuesday (2nd October) trended in the USA!

The popular series showed strong vitals with its Tuesday premiere, and is considered NBC’s best demo number within that particular time slot in two years but is also fourth biggest total viewer-lift on record for a series premiere in ‘live plus one day’ Nielsens.
