Last season, the Code Black TV show started off with mediocre ratings and the numbers plunged in week two. It looked like the series would be cancelled but other CBS shows did even worse so Code Black was renewed for a second season — with some behind-the-scene changes. Will the ratings improve? Will there be a third season renewal? Stay tuned.
Code Black takes place in an Emergency Room in Los Angeles — the busiest, most notorious ER in the nation. The staggering influx of patients often outweighs the limited resources available to the devoted doctors and nurses who work there, creating a condition known as Code Black. In season two, the cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Rob Lowe, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Harry Ford, Luis Guzman, Melanie Chandra, William Allen Young, Boris Kodjoe, and Jillian Murray.
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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The first season of Code Black averaged a 1.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.11 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 still like the Code Black TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season three on CBS?
5/14 update: CBS has renewed Code Black for a third season. Details here.

I cry watching this show
I love this show! Marcia Gay Harden is fabulous as Leeann Rorish…hard knocks type of woman w/a very soft heart. Luiz Guzman plays well mirroring Harden’s character, & Rob Lowe’s acting adds a nice zing to the cast. All the actors are realistic & show human qualities that are in everyday lives. Really enjoy this show! I’m not into “reality shows”, so this type of drama programming is entertaining for my age group…the over 50 crowd.
Black code without a doubt is my favorite show . Everyone i talked with lives the show and are anxious to hear it’s brought back . It has been excellent show day 1. I just don’t think a lot of people watched it till the people squaked and got attention . Then they watch . Can’t imagine ratings didn’t grow . Intense show with beautiful bond in fellow workers . Heartbreaking to thrilled tears . Never know with each patient. Please keep this show on for years to come !!
Please continue Code Black!!! It is one of the most original medical dramas I have seen in years!! Not to mention a wonderful cast!! Can’t wait to see what will happen next year with love in the workplace and new adoptions!! Love this show!! ♥️♥️♥️
