A network that has plenty of cop and legal TV shows, CBS hasn’t had a successful medical drama in quite awhile. Will Code Black become a ratings success or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Code Black takes place in an Emergency Room in Los Angeles where underfunding and understaffing pile huge pressures on its staff. The cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Raza Jaffrey, Bonnie Somerville, Melanie Chandra, William Allen Young, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth, and Luis Guzman.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/24 update: Now that the season’s wrapping up, should Code Black return for a second season?
2/25 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Code Black TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I’m not into medical drama TV shows. Never saw ER nor am I interested in watching Chicago Med. I watched the first episode of Code Black upon my husbands insistence and am now hooked. The acting is phenomenal. Great story lines. Every episode has had me on the edge of my seat. I absolutely love the show and would be very disappointing if it was not renewed considering all the other trash on TV that is.
Please renew Code Black! It is our favorite new show.

Code Black is fantastic, great character development with every episode. Edge of my chair each week. I’d want these doctors taking care of me.!

I love this show! I’d be so disappointed if it gets canceled. The acting is amazing with such a talented cast. I love the characters and the story lines are exciting. It is one of the only new shows that has kept my interest. Please don’t cancel this great show!
My daughter got me interested in Code Black. When I heard about the show before the series started, I hadn’t realized it was a medical drama.

Each episode makes me anxious for the next episode!!!! Please, please, please don’t cancel Code Black!!!!!! I have never taken this step in trying to save a show but there is something special about this one!!!! As soon as… Read more »
