What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Code Black stars Marcia Gay Harden, Luis Guzmán, Rob Lowe, Boris Kodjoe, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth, William Allen Young, Emily Tyra, Noah Gray-Cabey, Emily Alyn Lind, and Moon Bloodgood. The story unfolds at Angels Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles — the busiest, most notorious ER in the country. The high patient volume dwarfs the resources available to the exceptional staff — creating a condition known as Code Black.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Code Black averaged a 0.70 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.66 million viewers. Compared to season two, it is down by 27% and 5%, respectively. Find out how Code Black stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
On May 24, 2018, Code Black was cancelled by CBS. Could it come back someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with much lower numbers than the second season, it is still too early to predict whether CBS will cancel or renew Code Black for season four. Last year, the renewal reportedly came about after some licensing fee concessions, so the decision won’t only depend upon first-run advertising rates, but the possibility of syndication earnings, too. Flying blind, I suspect it will score a fourth season to help ensure a decent-sized resale package. Since that’s just speculation though, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Code Black cancellation or renewal alerts.
