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?


I love this show. Such good story lines and I love the characters. Please say there is a future for this show.
This is the best, most authentic Medical show with a great cast. Do not allow it to leave the air waves. Find someone to continue the show with the cast intact. PLEASE!!
Please keep this on the air. It gets better every year and so few shows any more that reel you in the way this one has.
Why would a show with so many viewers be canceled? I do hope someone picks this up
LEAVE CODE BLACK ON! Cancel Grays Anatomy, it is run into purgatory….
leave CODE BLACK and get rid of GRAYS ANATOMY, you can’t do anything with Grays any longer. It has worn its welcome….. KEEP CODE BLACK….
Love “Code Black” excellent cast, good stories…..so sorry to learn it is cancelled…Would love another season or two….Just too bad it’s cancelled…
I love Code Black. I was sorry to see the series end last night. Please bring it back!!!!!!!
This is such a great show. The cast ensemble is wonderful. This is such an “on the edge of your seat” kind of show. It is easy to get wrapped up in each of the characters and the story lines. I truly hate to see this show go. The networks keep canceling the good ones and experimenting with new crummy shows. I really hope Netflix would pick this one up!
My family agrees with you 100%
I have always loved this show and hope it is picked up by another network.
Absolutely agree, this show is so good,please find a way to keep it and get rid of one of the crummy shows.
I love Code Black! I would watch it through season 10 or more if it was on. Season 3 was the best one yet!
Please don’t cancel. Love this show. Just getting to know and love the actors!
Yes! Would watch this for sure! Love this show! Some other network please pick this up!
Please bring it back you are just getting started
I would totally watch another season! One of the best dramas going! Please, please renew!
This is the best show i have watched in a long time. I could not wait for season 3 to get here and then it ended way to fast. Why do they always cancel the best shows. I am really hoping that you continue the show. I have introduced others to the show that didn’t watch it from the beginning and now they love it too. I WANT MORE!!!!
