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?

Please renew this show. I never miss an episode and was so sad that the season for this year has already come to an end. I have never cried so much while watching a show. Literally every show I cry. The writing is fantastic, and we are finally getting to know the characters who have really developed. It would be a shame to take this show off the air. Love the addition of Rob Lowe…give this show a third season please!!!
Please bring Code Black back for season 3, and please make it a full season! This is the only show on CBS that we watch.
Please please please please please please don’t take of the air can’t see how people don’t like it
I love the show and hope it renews. I look forward every week to the program.
Code Black is my whole family’s favorite shows. Its one of the rare moments in our lives were well all come together and watch the same thing, in the same room, and at the same time. It is the best medical drama on television and we would be devastated if it doesn’t get renewed for many more seasons to come.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!!!!

If you don’t like the show…don’t watch it! However, there is a number of us that do!
