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.

How can you cancel a show after one season? What about moving to a different night/time slot? This is an excellent show and I looked forward to it every week. Makes me wonder if I should continue watching NBC. What else will they cancel?
Agreed!!!!! Lets write to the execs and see if it can be remedied…
We love the show, it’s funny, sad, has lots of life lessons. It’s fantastic entertainment – and isn’t that why we watch TV?
SHAME. Panttiere was the best of her performance. And the show is as good as Grey’s Anatomy minus the darama. Which puts it on the very top of my list. You should have NOT cancelled it. DAMN
PLEASE don’t cancel this show! I love it. I relate to it so much and it is much better than the Night Shift. Bring it back please
Bring HEARTBEAT back!! It beats the boring, “same ol’ story different day” storylines on all those other medical shows (which are popular enough to not to have to question if one more is too many). And that finale are you kidding..you have to keep it going!
I love this show and everything about it is interesting. It has lots of story lines, drama and love. Please ďon’the cancel it.
Pleaseeee do not cancel it!! is better than The Night Shift!! I really enjoy evenings with this show!!!
We like the show, it wasn’t your typical medical show.
Please don’t cancel it!
What a different and refreshing medical show.
Too bad NBC can’t take a leap of faith
Please don’t cancel the show! I couldn’t wait to see the next episode and love the whole story line and all the amazing medical stories that went along with it. Yes there are other medical shows but this is yet another show we loved!
pleas dont cancel the show i love it
Seriously!!?? What is with making a new series for one season and then canceling it? Heartbeat had become a favorite and just like that no conclusion and it’s cancelled. Why, just to make another series for one season. Complete waste of time. The people making these decisions must have no follow through. All I can say is BRING HEARTBEAT BACK!!!!!!!!!!
I am so tired of starting a new series then to love the new series to have the stupid hire ups to cancel new series. Give it a chance. You start a series toward the end of the season and cancel it because the numbers aren’t up. Um hello how can numbers be high when people are already invested in a series that started at the beginning of the season. I DVRed it and loved it. The characters were awesome. The storyline was great. Loved the love triangle with the gay husband. Really bites that this show was canceled. Great… Read more »
