Since Dr. Topher Zia (Ken Leung) is now gone, and Dr. Julian Cummings (James McDaniel) purchased the hospital, will the staff of San Antonio Memorial be able to keep it together? Will the ratings rise or fall? Will The Night Shift TV show be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
An NBC medical drama, The Night Shift stars Robert Bailey Jr., Eoin Macken, Jill Flint, Brendan Fehr, Scott Wolf, Tanaya Beatty, and JR Lemon, with Mark Consuelos recurring in season four. Although they’re kind of quirky, San Antonio Memorial’s emergency room night shift staff is extraordinary. They’ll risk almost anything to save their patients. Season three ended with Paul Cummings (Bailey) leading a staff walk-out after his father bought the hospital and fired Topher. Meanwhile, overseas, TC Callahan (Macken) was knocked out, during a refugee camp bombing. The fourth season picks up two days later, with everyone dealing with the consequences of their decisions. In Syria, TC’s proclivity for chaos helps him save people.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Did you still like The Night Shift TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
10/15 update: There will be no season five. NBC has cancelled The Night Shift TV show. Details here.
Best show I have watched in a long time please please bring it back
Please bring back The Night shift! Loved the show!
Please bring back The Night Shift. Loved the show and it should have never been cancelled
NBC should not cancel The Night Shift. I enjoyed this drama series immensely. Even thought the ratings for season 4 were down to 0.66 I know of plenty of other shows with similar and lower ratings. I sincerely hope another network picks up the show, maybe NETFLIX.
I Loved this show! So disappointed that NBC cancelled it. My favorite show! Was hoping TC and Jordan would admit they are still in love with each other and get back together! I wish Netflix would pick it up for season 5!
NO definitely not. The Night Shift was great television drama and even though the ratings slipped to 0.66 for season 4, NBC has plenty of other shows renewed for 2018 season with lower viewer ratings. I hope that NETFLIX or some other network picks up the show. PLEASE PLEASE.
The show did go from a 0.98 live ratings average in season 3 to a 0.66 in season 4. That is pretty bad. Plenty of shows have been renewed with worse ratings than a 0.66. I never watched it.
NBC took out the trash. It’s finally done.
Shows with much worse ratings have been renewed. I never watched it.
Please renew for season 5
