NBC already has one medical TV show on the schedule with Chicago Med and another one, The Night Shift, is expected to return this summer. Does the peacock network need a third? Will Heartbeat be a ratings success or DOA? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Set at the fictional St. Matthew’s Hospital, Heartbeat follows a cardio-thoracic surgeon, Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George), as she tries to juggle her personal and professional lives. She eagerly fights authority, particularly when it comes to her patients’ health and well-being. The rest of the cast includes Dave Annable, Don Hany, Joshua Leonard, Jamie Kennedy, D.L. Hughley, Shelley Conn, Maya Erskine, and J. Louis Mills.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/13 update: NBC has cancelled Heartbeat after one season. Details here.
5/26 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Heartbeat TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love it! Please renew!!!!!!!!
I REALLY wanted to like this show. Awesome guest stars, cute ideas, just something about it does NOT work for me. Sucks.
This show won’t be renewed. It hasn’t done over a 1.0 since the first episode and it hasn’t done over a 0.9 since the third episode. Two episodes left. I’m sure NBC is very disappointed with its ratings.
Love this show! I hope It gets renewed for season 2
I absolutely love this show and hope it gets renewed for season 2
so far so GREAT. i heart it! Melissa George is simply terrific and charming. the best part is she and the other charicters sucked me in and brought them to life the very first episode. please dont cancell another great add on to the peacock aka NBC line up. entertaining us is the name of the game so keep us veirers happy.
I like it…its growing on me Ditch the bad music ( ukulele)
The show isn’t going to be renewed. NBC was counting on this show to have high enough ratings so that they could get rid of MOL, and it isn’t going to happen. I was hoping that this show would do well because MOL is awful. Maybe it would have done a little better if it started in the fall. but it didn’t. Enjoy it while it lasts.
In the spirit of another poster’s verbosity, I hate, hate, hate this awful show. Melissa George is a bimbo at best with her black hair dyed blonde!
I LOVE, LOVE this show! The writing is great, with some good storylines. I like the characters, their relationships, and interactions with one another. I feel invested in their personal stories and struggles as I am watching the show. I will be SO BUMMED if this gets cancelled. I look forward to the show each week. It’s a keeper!
Simply abysmal. The acting is at best mediocre, the story lines are unrealistic, and the over-saturation with personal life sagas is boring. It’s like a VERY BAD version of Grey’s Anatomy, but without the good actors and writers. Can it before it implodes.
This show is so inspirational for women, especially knowing that it is based on the real life of a female cardiac thoracic surgeon. I normally don’t like any of these hospital based shows. This is the first one I have liked and enjoy the humor and the characters of which I know to be believable. Please keep this show. It is genius!
I am going to be upset if this show gets canceled, I love it! It makes you laugh and cry and it’s a good amount of everything. I have turned 3 people on to it already. Everytime I find a new show it gets canceled for yet ANOTHER reality show. Please keep this one!
Kill it. Pretty weak compared to other med shows.
I absolutely love this show!
