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?
Say it isn’t so! Loved this light hearted show! it really is about the characters not so much med. But we have already too many of those. The characters are exceptionally likable and the show was fun to watch! Bad decision NBC
I cannot believe you dont recognize how wonderful, unique, and informative this show is. Why is it that shows that are complete junk make it, and shows that make you think are shoved over the edge? PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE, and this time you should actually watch it.
I really enjoyed Heartbeat. It was quirky, and a completely different type of medical show. Why does it seem that a show without a isn’t a carbon copy of existing shows gets axed without a thought – yet crap does get renewed forever?
Love the show. Hope it can get a 2nd chance. How do you go about that/
Please give it another year
Please, please give it another season!!!! Love it!!!
I loved the show. It was funny, serious and romantic. I love every character on the show. Nbc didn’t give it a fair chance.
It is such a good show…do not cancel please!!!!!
Can’t believe this show was cancelled. I rarely watch this sort of show, but it really grabbed me. Has everything going for it, acting, writing, and great time slot. I think NBC should keep it going.
I hate that they cancelled such a good show. They don’t even give them a chance! So sick of Dateline crap, we’re over it already. You finally had a show that was drawing you in with it’s great characters. Had something that was different and you go and cancel it.
I loved this show but I’m not in the demographic group they are testing. Too bad as the show has been getting better since the premiere. I wish they would give it another season.
This show is well written and fascinating. It is a shame it is cancelled!
This show is way better than Chicago Med and Night Shift put together! NBC has never been good at scheduling shows, they are too busy playing Dateline garbage every other day. This was the only show I watched on NBC.
Agree on the Dateline opinion. Every Dateline episode is EXACTLY THE SAME! !?? Yet IT remains? Please prove that NBC isn’t as out of touch as it seems to be, going as far back as Johnny Carson’s exit. Heartbeat will be a great loss to our particular housebound entertainment. I’ll be anxiously hoping for reconsideration.
Bummer about cancelling- NBC needs to give shows a chance.
NBC should try moving the show, not canceling it! It was a great show, with intensity and humor! I hate all the reality crap the networks air! Bring this one back or sell it to cable!
