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?

This is currently the best show on TV. Excellent writers. Every single episode has been touching and frequently left me AND my husband in tears. Terribly disappointed to see it end and hoping it will be picked up by another network.
Love the show! Please bring it back! 🙁
I absolutely love this show!!!, I feel like I know these characters personally and I cried every episode, please, please bring back season 4, please,

This is absolutely the only must watch show on TV. What MASH was in its day, thats code black now. Please keep it on the air
I love this show and I’ve loved it ever since it began. I will be overjoyed if they come back for a 4th season
Code Black is THE best show on TV now…..It makes absolutely no sense why a show of this calibre would be cancelled!!!! Somebody is making a huge mistake here. Mind numbing reality shows which are not even close to REALITY can maintain its standings on the ratings, yet a show that is truly entertaining with edge of your seat drama, gets scrapped..ILLOGICAL to say the least!! With mnimal time left in the day to watch television anymore, all we see are ridiculous so called hits about finding true love…yeah…ok….! When code black is on, the show starts and keeps you… Read more »
