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?
Please renew. Nobody even heard of it.
Oh, don’t cancel the show! The episode with Candace Kayne (not sure about spelling) playing a true to life role of a Trans Woman (with breast cancer), made the hair stand up on my arms & neck. And that song that everyone sang made me cry. Please don’t cancel Heartbeat.
Please don’t cancel “Heartbeat” Great show, filled with humor, emotions and good storylines.
I am not happy it was cancelled, but Heartbeat was not much interesting because, the story was a combination of Gray Anatomy, Mysteries of Laure and a little bit of Body of proof as well.
Is not fair bring it back
Just found this show “on demand”. I had never even heard of it. I literally watched the entire season in two days then googled to find out when season 2 would be on…I’m shocked this was canceled. I can only assume it was because of lack of advertising– if I’d heard of it sooner I would have watched it every week. Really hoping USA picks it up – perfect for that network!
I just found out Heartbeat is cancelled. I am in shock. That is a great show. What is happening to these networks cancelling all the good shows. ABC cancel Castle and now NBC cancels Heartbeat. There aren’t that many shows on that are worthy to watch now there are two fewer ones. I guess I can take up reading again.
Need to bring it back. There are like 5 cop-drama show like blue Sheild, CSI and others. This show is even better the grey anatomy whichand me being in the medical field that show is WAY to unrealistic to me. At least heartbeat does a better job of being more real with a little twist to it. NBC made a bad job cancelling it with all the competition show how are anyone going to know about this show since they hardly even promoted it or had advertisements to get people to watch. I hope that in September they do change… Read more »
I can’t believe Heartbeat was cancelled. It was one of the best new medical dramas in a long time. Again the lead character is a Female… Is that why it was cancelled. ABC shouldn’t be the only one to have a Female Lead Character!!! Heartbeat was in a League of its own. So disappointed in NBC.
Heartbeat should of been renewed for another season it was a great show
This is an awesome show that should have been renewed. I waited anxiously for the next episode. Wouldn’t delete the recorded show either.
Heartbeat should have been renewed. It is a fresh medical show with a different pace than chicago med and a strong female doctor that kicks ass! What is not to love.
would love to see it renewed for season 2
My daughter & I loved this show!!!! We were just talking the other day how we can’t wait for season 2!! It was a great show!!!
I love heartbeat why did you cancel it?? You didn’t give it a chance. Maybe cbs will pick it up I watch more shows on that station anyway. Way to go NBC
