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?


Code Black is one of THE BEST SHOWS on TV by far!! Please bring back this show.
Absolutely love Code Black!!! It is, BY FAR, the best medical series on television in years!!! Looked forward to watching every week, fell in love with the characters, storylines only to find it’s being cancelled!! Please bring it back!!!
I’m so sad to hear Code Black isn’t returning. I love this show and all the characters which touch you in so many ways. They seem so real and they make you laugh , cry and get you to examine your own take on life. I will miss this show and by a miracle maybe see the rebirth for a fourth season. Nanci
I would watch multiple seasons of Code Black. Just when the characters are growing and maturing the series is cancelled. I am so disappointed. I hope its picked up by another network.
We love Code Black! Cannot believe that the show was cancelled! Wonderful characters and we desparath hope that CBS access, Netflix or another streaming service will pick up this great series!
Love this show! It is always uplifting in a world where those feelings are few and far between please bring it back.
We LOVED Code Black, loved the imperfection of the characters, the growth and change that occurred over three years.

I loved this show! Wish it hadn’t been cancelled.
I am so sad that it has been cancelled! One of the few good shows with moral substance!
Yes I am a fan. Yes I would watch a 4th season. It totally amazes that quality dramas such as Code Black cancelled and the trivial “reality shows” are renewed. And don’t get me started on the sitcoms that are not the least bit funny.
Code Black was entertaining and intense from the first episode to the last. I will miss it and don’t understand why, with all the junk on CBS, this show was cancelled.
Season 4 PLEASE…best show on TV.
One of my favorite shows. Please do not cancel!
please have a 4th season!!
Please pick it up somewhere. one of the best shows on TV
