Heartbeat has officially flat-lined. Variety reports NBC has cancelled the medical drama after one season.
The series centers on Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George), a cardio-thoracic surgeon trying to juggle her personal and professional life. Dave Annable, Don Hany, Joshua Leonard, Jamie Kennedy, D.L. Hughley, Shelley Conn, Maya Erskine, and J. Louis Mills also star.
Nearing the end of its first season, Heartbeat has continued to fall in the ratings. The series began strong, receiving a 1.39 in the 18-49 demo and 6.304 million viewers for its March premiere. However, the show is currently averaging only .85 in the 18-49 demo, with 4.631 million viewers.
The season one, and now series, finale airs on May 25th.
What do you think? Do you watch Heartbeat? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Omg I can’t believe NBC has cancelled yet another great show. How are we the public supposed to enjoy programmes when we don’t know if they’re gonna be cancelled. Every week without fail I have watched Melissa George play Alex Panttiere not only her love life between Jesse & Paris but also her work life. This is yet another show viewers have gotten attached to for u to cancel. What is it exactly you as a network want ??

Noooo! I loved this show! As an Aussie, I was never really that keen on Melissa George, but she is brilliant in this show, an the rest of the cast were fantastic!!!!
Please,please,please nnnnnoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this show!!!!! Heartbeat is the best medical show ever. It makes me sick for NBC to keep cancelling excellent shows. As a medical person myself, it is pure joy to watch and as a female I really love watching a strong, smart, female lead. The writing is unique, smart and funny and real. Please reconsider. This is such devastating news. How can you give a show such little time? How can you expect viewers to continue watching new shows if you keep doing this.
Bring it back! Absolutely horrible idea to cancel. Beyond livid. Let’s start a petition to bring back the show!
