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.
Love this show! Please do not cancel. The cast works very well together with two great stars leading the pack: Marcia Gay Harden and Rob Lowe. I hope you consider another season. Thank you.
My daughter and I love this show. I record it so that we can watch it together when she comes into town. This is often a week or two later and we will watch two to three episodes at of time. Please do not cancel this show. It is our favorite. ❤
I THINK IT’S THE BEST SHOW ON TV – MAYBE A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCH IT ON DEMAND LIKE ME !!!!! I SURE HOPE IT IS RENEWED !!!!
Please renew Code Black!!!!! This show is so fresh, we look forward every week to seeing it. It has very tough subjects and always something we can connect with. Another thing that draws us, is that it is so unpredictable. You never know what or how characters are leaving, no matter how sad or dramatic it is. This show is a must….please keep it.
Please renew Code Black! I don’t understand how the ratings can be so low. I dvr it because it gets my adrenaline pumping so high that I have a hard time getting to sleep after watching it. The cast is amazing and the the story lines are powerful!
Please renew code black. Great show. When the seasons are split the way they are now, it’s impossible for ratings to climb fast. Please keep it and give it a full season.
Please renew Code Black. It’s a great show & I look forward to it every week! The cast is great together. It’s one of the few shows on the air that both my 13-year old son and I watch together!
Code Black gets better each season. Would love to see it renewed! It’s fast
paced and fascinating. Two faithful watchers in our household.
Please keep Code Black for another season. I enjoy a good Medical drama. We haven’t had one since ER went off the air.
Please renew Code Black for another season. I love everything about it. I really can’t stand another good show being cancelled only to see drivel like the Bachelor going on for way tooooo long.
My family and I love this show. It has gone from a little gory for the average person to really engaging. The actors are believable and entertaining. The show is so much better than all of the «reality shows». Please, please let there be a season 3.
My family loves this show. It is a good, quality show that looks at a variety of medical subjects through the eyes of the doctors. It has an awesome cast with a great cohesion! I would love to see Code Black cone back on! It just wouldn’t be the same without Momma and the gang.
Yes… why would I check if I didn’t want it to return…. it is my favorite show❤
Please renew for season 3. One of the best shows on tv!!!
Please please please keep the series going. We love it! We have it set for record just in case we miss it that we can still watch it. I highly recommend this show. It’s a MUST to keep Code Black going.
