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.”

YES would watch !
This is an awesome show, my favorite & I am seriously saddened to have it end. It always has a very meaningful story line. I find it exciting & realistic to those of us that are in the medical field. It was to exciting to see that some of the characters were finding meaning & love in their lives & it would be so awesome to see where their love, relationships & lives continue to grow at Angels! Please continue this show, don’t end it now! There is so much more that can done!
Code Black is one of my favorite shows. The cast is like a family and they will be missed.
Loved the show. I was a faithful follower as was my husband, we were both sad and very disappointed to have it end.. Please reconsider bringing it back. This is one of the better shows on tv. I have retired from the medical field but watching this show brought back a lot of emotions for me.
This is an amazing show with a talented cast! One of the very few shows my husband and I look forward to every week. As EMS professionals, we found it relatable and so well presented! While the plane crash brought a seeming closure, we’d love to have this series continue! These incredible actors give the story line so much potential! It deserves a major network spot!! Please!!
