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.

This is Larissa again. I meant to type CBS in my comment about Code Black being cancelled but had been looking at other shows on ABC’s list as well. I got the networks mixed up.!!! Shame on CBS for cancelling one of the best shows out there… Code Black!!!
I am so very sad and disappointed that this show has been cancelled! I love the characters, they way they have continually grown and developed. The story lines were well developed and always kept my attention! I looked forward to each new episode and it quickly became my favorite show! There are so many of TV shows that are frivolous…stupid if you will… that air on ABC as well as other networks! Shame on ABC for cancelling Code Black!
VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CODE BLACK WON’T BE BACK. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS GOING AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER THEIR VERY BAD DECISION.
I really enjoyed this show, its sad to see it dropped with so many cliffhanger moments. I had heard it was possibly going to be renewed for 1 more final season, but this site doesnt mention gghat. Viewership was up for the season that just ended. I hope to see another season.
I am more than sad this show was deleted. If was the best show out there. Everyone I know watched it and can’t imagine it was gone because of ratings. Come on CBS think again about this!!!
Shame–one of the best shows on TV has been canceled.
I’m so sad to hear of the cancellation of ‘Code Black’. I know it couldn’t have been Ratings since every one I knew loved it & watched it faithfully. Can’t wait to what will replace it…. Nothing good on TV these days, at least there’s Netflix.
Why do they keep canceling the good shows. They are going by ratings of teens and young adults that have no clue what a good show is. Tired of this, BRING CODE BLACK BACK!!! Get rid of all the so called reality shows, they are scripted anyway and not reality IMO.
I love this show. I was very disappointed to hear it was being cancelled. It is one of the best medical dramas on TV…. Diversity in the cast and storyline kept the interest of the viewer throughout the entire show. I wish it could be renewed.
Code Black … a favorite. Hope it is renewed.
Please don’t cancel “Code Black” I love the storyline and the drama is sooo good. Bring it back‼️
Really disappointed that Code Black has been cancelled. Thought the acting excellent. The evoking stories were well done, timely topics and relevant to audiences today. Why do networks constantly cancel shows where the people in the shows can actually act and have some depth to their characters. Please put it back
