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 think the acting is good. I like the storylines. I like the flashbacks and the interaction of the doctors
NBC is making a big mistake. I was looking forward to the next season’m
I just read another’s comment and wanted to agree that if Nbc want s to cancel something how bout Dateline ? Sick of it and when you’ve watched one you’ve watershed them all —talk about a cookie cutter show. Please move Heartbeat to Friday’s and cancel dateline !!!
This is an interesting show with good characters and good story lines . I every week have watched it form the beginning and am very sorry to see it has been cancelled . I think nbc has made a terrible mistake on pulling the plug on this one way too soon . Wish nbc would reconsider and give it another season .
Yes it should have been renewed. I am so tired of getting into these new series and falling for these characters and stories only to have them taken away after a season. Maybe the networks need to adjust they’re thinking on the numbers. There is so much competition and the number of networks is crazy compared to the old days. I’m just so sick of the stupid reality shows!!! I’m getting ready to throw in the towel on TV altogether.
Please don’t cancel this show.
There are many others that could be cancelled instead.
Some of the renewals are not very entertaining.
This is unbelievable to me! I have not ever been willing to sacrifice an hour of a day for anything on television … until Heartbeat. This series has so much to offer about life, reality, decisions & consequences, truth, hope and faith – faith in human kindness and hope that it does still exist in a world full of doubt. I am nearly speechless. Cancelling this series is an absolutely asinine thing to do and it’s obvious that I, along with many others will be severely disappointed. PLEASE don’t do this!! Is there anyway the decision could be negotiated?
It’s such a great show. I would love to see more. Every time I find a good show to watch they cancel it & replace it with 30 minute stupid comedy shows. I think we have enough of them. Myself & others hope they change their minds.
Should not cancel the best hospital show in tv. Chicago med is soo predictable and boring and yet you are cancelling one of the most entertai ing shows. Stupid
I am sorry to hear that Heartbeat is being cancelled. I and many of my friends and relatives always shared after seeing the show. Drama and comedy made me look forward to Wednesday evening 8:00. Melissa George is a great actress and believe this is a bad decision.
very disappointed by this news, I enjoy the show and the actors on it, I think if they ran a 2nd season they would get more viewers now that the show is getting well known. My vote is to keep it on, one of the few good shows on this network!!!!
Can’t believe you cancelled- know a lot of people that watch it- it is well written and acted- what a shame- stupid move- put it on a different night !! Dumb dumb!! Really good show- one of the more intelligent!!
When this show wins Emmys the power that be, will know that they made a mistake.
It’s too bad that such a good series gets cancelled and some cra.. programs get left on the air. SHAME SHAME
I love this character she is strong and no nonsense and I love the show rethink cancelling.
I love this show! I am super disappointed that it is cancelled. Please give it another chance.
