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?

Like Seriously?!??!?!?! Why is this even a debate???? Code Black needs to be renewed for season 3!!!! Life wont be the same with out momma!!!!!
Please bring back the wonderful nitty gritty true life series Code Black. It’s a brilliant representation of how hospitals have to cope when they go Code Black.
I absolutely loved the Code Black series. It’s a gritty factual based drama & I really hope that you will bring us another series please???
Renewed ! This is the only hospital show that has the medical stuff that goes on like it does in a real hospital. Also everyone needs a mama it their life. Do you just look at American ratings because Canadians love this show. It totally awesome. Awesome cast, great scripts & a 3 season is required. Yours truly, Kim Hynek
Please bring Code Black back for Season 3. It’s much better than what you’ve replaced it with.

With all the junk they are currently showing and renewing I can’t believe they aren’t renewing Code Black – one of the best shows on TV. Where are your heads????

It is the FIRST show I look for every Wed, to see if it is back. Please, please renew. I keep telling people about it. The Actors and story lines are so excellent, I am captured immediately with every single show. Please,renew.
Please renew Code Black for another season!!! It’s a great show with terrific actors. The show is fast paced so viewers don’t get bored; which happens quite frequently with other shows; and not with Code Black. I love the show, especially with Marcia Gay Hardin, she is such a great actor!!!!!! So, PLEASE renew the show for another season!!!! Thank you for your time!!!
