In its freshman installment, the Code Black TV show earned low ratings for a CBS TV series. Instead of cancelling though, the network renewed it, with the requisite cast changes. Its numbers fell further last year, but it still wasn’t cancelled, probably thanks to licensing deal concessions. Will the third season see the audience grow or further diminish, and if so, how low can it go? Will Code Black be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below
A CBS medical drama, Code Black stars Marcia Gay Harden, Luis Guzmán, Rob Lowe, Boris Kodjoe, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth, William Allen Young, Emily Tyra, Noah Gray-Cabey, Emily Alyn Lind, and Moon Bloodgood. The story unfolds at Angels Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles — the busiest, most notorious ER in the country. The high patient volume dwarfs the resources available to the exceptional staff — creating a condition known as Code Black. .
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in 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.
7/19 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The second season of Code Black averaged a 0.97 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.984 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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? Should this CBS TV show have been cancelled or renewed for season four?

Code Black canceled? It is by far one of our favorite shows. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it was canceled. The show has drama, sadness, happiness, and personal relationships that more than add to the strain of saving lives under trying circumstances. Please re-consider and give us one more season. It is a very fine show that we look so forward to each and every week.

This is a great show with a great cast. Please bring it back or put on another network.
Cancelling this show is about as dumb as what happened to Last Man Standing. Please re-evaluate this questionable decision.
NNNNOOOOOO………Please don’t cancel this show, it’s one of the best shows on right now
Please don’t take the show off, I look forward to this every week. I know a lot of people who watch this show. I am so mad.
Code Black is my favorite show. What is wrong with you people? Not enough money in it for you? What about the millions that really y enjoy good, honest TV.
Code Black was one of my favorite shows as well as my wife and college age daughter. Not sure who gets picked for ratings or viewer numbers but it was sad to see this good show sent on the way out the door. How about changing your mind or perhaps another network pick it up
