TV show description:
This gritty medical drama revolves around an Emergency Room in Los Angeles where underfunding and understaffing pile huge pressure on its staff. A “code black” is issued when the ER no longer has the manpower, capacity or equipment to operate effectively.
Doctor Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden) is the ER Residency Director. She’s a brilliant doctor and an experienced professional who often has to resort to her intuition as opposed to standard medical procedures in order to save lives. She reminds her staff that life is measured in split seconds and a moment of hesitation can be the difference between life and death.
On the flip side to Leanne’s risk-taking is Doctor Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey) who is constantly at odds with her cavalier attitude.
Leanne’s confidante is Senior Nurse Jesse Salander (Luis Guzman) who’s seen it all at the country’s most notorious ER. His job is to manage the residents. Like the other technicians, doctors and nurses, he is facing a daily battle to save lives under immense pressure.
Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Christa Lorenson (Bonnie Somerville), Angus Leighton (Harry Ford) and Malaya Pineda (Melanie Chandra) are all first-year residents coming to terms with the harsh realities of their chosen profession.
Episode #47 — Business of Saving Lives
Angels Memorial descends into chaos when a plane crashes into the eighth floor. Also, it is up to Mario to save Noa’s life when she has a car accident. In addition, Willis admits to Rox that he needs her in his life, and the doctors gather in court to support Leanne for her custody hearing.
First aired: July 18. 2018.

I have thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward each season for it to come back! Now I don’t have that to look forward to!!! Real big disappointment!!!
Why would anyone cancel CODE BLACK?? That was one of the best and most realistic ER shows EVER made! I use to work in an ER for many years so I ought to know! PLEASE bring it back!!!
I liked this show far better than Gray’s Anatomy. Deeply disappointed that this series was canceled. I was on the edge of my seat for so many shows…
Completely bummed that this show is cancelled!
I really like Code Black, being a retired critical care RN! I don’t care for reality shows, but this one is the real thing! Wish networks would leave the GOOD shows running for the ones who don’t like silly shows! Please bring back Code Black and the wonderful, talented actors/ actresses
This was one of the bast shows on CBS, what is wrong with you people, you continue to take great shows off the air & replace then with CRAP. I love watching TV, and I have a DVR and “Code Black” is one that I DVR’d so I could watch when I had time. You people are insane!
Loved the show! Hope they bring it back!!!
