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?
I love this how and it was just getting really exciting.
Should not be cancelled excellent show please renew the series
This sow is great!! Love the characters and story line. What are you thinking?? Don’t watch the other medical shows, leave this on or go to another network!! Are you crazy, who exactly are you trying to please here?
This is ridiculous. My time just like everyone else’s time is limited. So, I tend to be very particular in which television shows that I am willing to invest my time in by watching. Rarely do I choose to watch a pilot, much less a series as I already have my favorites that I want to be sure to watch. That being said, I can’t think of any show that I look forward to watching like I have Heartbeat. It has been years since I have said “Oh my gosh! What day is it?? I can’t wait to watch Heartbeat!”… Read more »
Nooooooooooooo
I fully enjoy watching Heartbeat and cannot wait until it’s on. The characters are heartwarming and I love the strong woman influence. I think it should not be cancelled they need to give it a chance.
Heartbeat is refreshing and fun not like the other dramas on TV. As life happens to her, everything is on the uplifting side. Sad to see her go. Ratings perhaps gell a nit due to finals and just the end of school year. Give her another chance!
NBC hasn’t had a good medical drama since ER. I ended up switching to ABC for Grey’s Anatomy. After just the first episode of Heartbeat, I was hooked. I enjoyed it because it could be so serious and at the same time, a little silly (to balance each other out). Maybe there’s a network out there that’s smart enough to pick up this show. Not cool NBC…
Nbc you shouldn’t have cancelled this show! I love this show after I stopped watching grays anatomy! This is so much better and love the actors and story line! Should
Have kept it for another season
WHAT THE WHAT? I love that show! Why??? Ratings are overrated after only one season! Give it another chance!
I really like Heartbeat. I’m bummed they are cancelling it. It was both funny and dramatic and it’s worth giving it a second season. Get rid of the Kardashians!
LOVE this show. Please dont cancel ~ great acting. Good medical knowledge. Good topic matter.
Seen the list of new shows NBC is bringing on the one taking the slot on Monday after the Voice sounds really stupid and not very interesting. They should leave HEARTBEAT on and forget some of the other shows. So pissed at NBC. Shame on you!!
I swear why do they cancel every good show that comes on?? This is the first show that I absolutely love in a long time !! Can we start a petition or something? Me and my husband watches every week. I can’t believe that they keep on all of the zombie shows and witchcraft shows season after season then A good show comes out with a lead character that is so hilarious and funny that you find yourself wanting to be like her.
This is a great show and shouldn’t be cancelled! I look forward to it weekly. Great story lines and wonderful actresses/ actors!
