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.

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?

“Code Black” is a realistic medical show. The characters are believeable, the acting is very good, and the storyline is entertaining. I look forward to seeing every weekly episode and hope the show isn’t on the cancellation list.
great comment….
Please keep it on the air. Best Er medical show ever. They deal with more real cases. Don’t put it on same night as football., never got to see it because they always showed football.
I AGREE
Please don’t cancel Code Black. It is the best medical program on TV. I love it!!
I love code black. Hopefully it will have a 3rd season. I love it
Please renew. This is a great show and I look forward to watching it again.
Please don’t cancel. Everyone worries about the 18-49 bracket, what about baby boomers, who have just as much influence on the economy. There is so much vampires and superheroes. Boomers unite. Let CBS know we want this well written show for a 3rd season
Best drama show on TV! I hope it doesn’t get canceled.
Please renew!! I absolutely love this show! This is a very well written and portrayed series. I look forward to watching every week!
