Checking in with MATT CZUCHRY BY JAY BOBBIN “Everyone Is Doing Great” “Endlings” “One Tree Hill” alums James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti are the creative forces behind this comedy series that casts them as Jeremy and Seth, the former stars of a vampire TV drama, who must adjust to life and love in a delayed coming of age.

When the Fox medical drama returns for its fourth season Tuesday, Jan. 12, it will resume in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. While the doctors suffer losses due to COVID-19, the series also advances its timeline relatively quickly, enabling hospital colleagues and longtime loves Conrad and Nic – played by Matt Czuchry and Emily VanCamp – to proceed with their wedding. “I think the right word for it is ‘responsibility,’ ” says pleasant “Gilmore Girls” and “The Good Wife” alum Czuchry. “If we didn’t address the pandemic, we would be irresponsible, We do that in Episode One, but it’s equally important to note that at the end of that episode, we’re in a post-pandemic world, And that follows through in Episodes Two, Three and so forth. “Everyone is overwhelmed with the pandemic in their personal lives, so if people are kind enough to spend their time with us, I hope it will be an escape,” Czuchry reasons, noting that having the wedding as the coda to a COVID-intensive story is “the balance we’ve tried to strike. Everyone’s struggling, but at the same time, we’re hopeful that we’re going to get through it and come out on the other side and find something better.” Czuchry recalls his elevator ride to his “Resident” audition with series co-creator and executive producer Amy Holden “Movie: The Ultimate Playlist of Noise” Learning he must undergo brain surgery that will render him deaf, an audio- obsessed high school senior (Keean Johnson) sets off on a mission to record a playlist of all his favorite sounds.
