Code Black just wrapped its third and final season, but is there a chance for more? Recently, creator Michael Seitzman spoke with Deadline about the possible future of the cancelled CBS TV show.
The medical drama unfolds at Angels Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles — the busiest, most notorious ER in the country. The cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Luis Guzmán, Boris Kodjoe, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth, William Allen Young, Emily Tyra, Noah Gray-Cabey, Emily Alyn Lind, Moon Bloodgood, and Rob Lowe.
In the interview, Seitzman said he’s proud of the how Code Black ended:
One of the things I always wanted to explore in the show is the nature of grief. I wanted to be honest about it, face it head on, and really explore how messy it is, how mysterious it is, and how miraculous it is when we finally see some light. The way we dealt with it for all three seasons, with our patients and our doctors, is something I’m very proud of, especially the way we delved into it with Rob Lowe’s Ethan Willis this season, in looking at his PTSD and the way his mind processed his grief and guilt when it came to his brother.”
However, the CBS series creator revealed he did have plans for a fourth season:
There’s an aspect to Ryan McGarry’s documentary, which inspired the show, which I always found interesting. When the staff was moving from the old LA County Medical Center to the new one. It shook them up in a very particular way. In a way, there were ghosts in that old building that they found they needed and those ghosts didn’t exist in the new building. It affected the way they approached their jobs and their patients and they wondered if they could still be as intimate with them in the new building. I always wanted to do that in Code Black, take our staff out of Angels Memorial and see what would happen if we moved them into a new building. Flying a plane into Angels seemed to make that an easy creative transition.”
And what are the chances of a renewal from another network? Seitzman says they’re all still hopeful:
The studio has reached out to all of the streaming services. To be honest, we haven’t heard back from them yet. We’re hopeful.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Code Black? Would you watch a fourth season?


Love this show.please bring it back for another season
My mom and I watched every episode (2 different housholds). We absolutely love this show! Code Black kept my adrenaline pumping, it has great storylines, and great actors. I just don’t understand why they always end the awesome series,
Please do not cancel Code Black! I was in tears at the end of season three knowing it is supposed to be the last. Please bring on more seasons as many as you can. Even my husband said it was a shame to cancel such a good show. PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW GOING !!!
This is an amazing show. Wish I had watched from day one! The story lines are so true in life, the acting is fabulous Definitely deserves a 4th Season and more. Any show is going to have a drop in ratings when summer begins and when the networks are constantly moving the time.
My husband and I have watched code black since it began in season one. We are really upset about the cancelation of the fourth season. This is the best medical series that I have ever watched. I am a nurse and it is very true to the real deal and what happens in a hospital. Please bring back this series!
My wife and I love Code Black and are hopeful for a Season 4.
My Husband and I love Code Black, we were shocked when the after the last episode instead of
“Season Finale” it was Series Finale!! If there is anything we can do to help reverse this decision or help it get picked up by another network Please let us know!!!
Definitely would watch a season four and as many as they make.
I thought the show continued to get better and really looked forward to watching. Please find a new home for Code Black
My husband and I have watched the series since its beginning,and are very unhappy it’s not being renewed, the cast and story lines have been outstanding. We hope it is picked up for additional seasons.
I never miss an episode of this captivating realistic drama. I am extremely upset over the cancellation. Many real life issues are dealt with. am so hopeful that another network will correct this error and Code Black will return.
This was one of my favorite shows and I just hate to see it end. It always seem the networks end the really good, worthwhile shows leaving us with worse and worse shows.
Definitely would watch a 4,5,6,7…. Love this show!!! And think it’s a shame it got cancelled.
This is my favorite show. I can’t believe it has been cancelled. I was a former fan of ER also. I love CBS……The Talk is awesome. You have really disappointed me CBS…. REALLY DISAPPOINTED ME. If you want it to have better ratings air it on a better night!! I DVR it and don’t watch it until Sunday night. I hope Netflix picks it up. Very Disappointed!
Code Black definitely needs to come back for a fourth season. Its my wife’s and mine favorite series. The finale opened up several new avenues for a new season
Yes I would watch season 4 and as many seasons as you put on code black is an awesome show please keep it going!!!!
