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?
RENEW!!!!!
HEartbeat was great! I just started watching it last week. I watch 2 episodes to catch up. I’m hooked! I watch the season finale and it was great and you mean to tell me nbc is not going to them run season 2? Why did they put it on to begin with? Get us hooked and that’s it! It’s brand new and it’s the best hospital tv series yet! Loved it and it’s nbc loss. I think people don’t know about it. I didn’t. Now that I do it’s a real shame if they permanently take it off the air.
Love the show!
Please bring back HEARTBEAT! Loved it ❤️
Please bring back Heartbeat. I love it
Everything time I started to really like the show,the cast,the writing and invest myself. These shows are always cancelled. I love the story line. Please please please don’t cancel. I have saved the last three shows to watch when I finally hear if it is getting saved If time I have ever done this. Please bring it back.
please reconsider your decision. Heartbeat is a good series!!!!
Don’t cancelled HEARTBEAT!!!! I love this show, great actors and plot! Plus we don’t know who Alex chooses!!
I am so tired of getting invested in new series, only to have them cancelled after one season. This has become the rule rather than the exception. Heartbeat was truly entertaining and I was so looking forward to season two’s plot line. You may find people will not be so eager to support new series going forward. What a shame! Plz reconsider your cancellation of Heartbeat. Thank you.
I posted a comment & now it’s not here ! Love the show, please don’t cancel, tired of watching something new or anything any more & love it & the it gets canceled! Way too many reality shows, especially bachelor & bachelorette! Complete nonsense!
I love the show! Melissa George is fantastic! Loved the last episode! Please don’t cancel. I love all the medical shows! Please do not cancel! I am tired of watching new show, loving it, just to be canceled! There are too many reality shows just so you know how I feel about them!
OMG PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL HEART BEAT!!!!!!!
I loved Heartbeat! Please don’t cancel it! I would love to see more of it. It is one of the best new shows!
I cannot believe they are cancelling this tv show! What a great one, and what a season finale cliff hanger that we will never know what Alex chooses to rectify the big mix-up in Vegas while drinking heavily after being fired!!!! NBC, very disappointing!!!! Please, please let another channel pick up this great show that is just as good as Grey’s Anatomy, which I’ve been watching from the beginning.
I am so tired of starting new shows only to have them cancelled. And who is actually rating the shows. I am gong to spend more time watching cable…..they give shows a chance.
