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 it is a real shame to cancel this show after one season. The characters are interesting, intelligent, funny, humorous, quirky, and I can go on with more adjectives. The writers were very creative with their scripts. They are fast pace, witty writers. This show is not written in the same manner as the other Medical shows and that’s refreshing. I cannot believe yet another clever show is thrown out.
Kinda sad when a major network doesn’t know a great show when it has one
Maybe a better network will pick it up !
Another stupid move deciided by an idiot !!!
This is a great show that is extremely entertaining and well written !!!
How about trying a different time slot or day or both ?!?!
Have not missed an episode !!!
I am shocked! My husband and I look forward to this show every week and have not missed an episode. Bring it back!
Big mistake cancelling Heartbeat! Great cast, interesting storyline, I just don’t get it, I hope NBC reconsiders.
I just found this show! Its the best show on tv!! Please do not cancel!!!
This show is awesome. Why would you cancel? Take in to consideration that most people record it to watch later . I hurry to get home and settled by 7:00pm so I can be certain not to miss a second of it. Please reconsider. It’s a great show.
I cant believe another good show gone its a shame and these other shows that arent even as good stay what a shame dont cancel give it another chance .
This is a shame. I truly enjoyed this show and have not missed one episode. I love the fact that is has so many parts to it. Each week I go thru many emotions: laughter, sadness, shock, awe etc. Thanks to the great writers!!! This was one show I did not miss which was very difficult with my busy schedule. This is how much I enjoyed this show!! Sad to see it go!!
I am extremely disappointed. I absolutely love this show. It’s a lot better than most of the shows out there. I feel like it hasn’t been given a chance. Go to Netflix then.
I love this show! So disappointed to know it’s being cancelled after only one season. I hope it gets another chance.
We love Heartbeat!It may have gone down in ratings because of the political shows. Alex and her personal life makes it fun to watch.-She is so likable…give it a chance and another season.You don’t ask the right people to see if it is watched
Heart beat is an amazing show that deserves a second chance.
I am a paused in shock to hear this coming to a close, there is quite a bit of material you can run on this with,cast and story. Let’s be clear here so you see what you created. “Heartbeat, is a twist in another epic show called” House” here its a woman who is headstrong, and pushy like house…also carries burdens in life as did house. While still presenting great medical intelligence dramatic and moving.. Your able to revoke your decision you should. This show has so much promise. As did house. Lol I personally like this show, Ive spent… Read more »
Heartbeat was so well-done….great acting and story lines with a lot of HEART!…Very disappointed that NBC didn’t give it a chance….Also think they were weak about advertising. It was refreshing to watch a show without guns and crime and apocalyptic crap.
Major bummer!!
