It’s time for San Antonio Memorial’s emergency room night shift staff to clock out. The Night Shift TV show has been cancelled after four seasons on NBC. The medical drama first premiered in of May of 2014. It ran as a summer series, except in season two, when it was a mid-season replacement.
Airing on the NBC television network, The Night Shift stars Robert Bailey Jr., Eoin Macken, Jill Flint, Brendan Fehr, Scott Wolf, Tanaya Beatty, and JR Lemon, with Mark Consuelos recurring in season four. The series centers on the quirky, yet extraordinary emergency room night shift at San Antonio Memorial, who’ll risk almost anything to save their patients.
The Night Shift: A Look at the Ratings
The fourth season of The Night Shift averaged a 0.66 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.96 million viewers. Compared to season three, it was down by 32% and down by 21%, respectively. The Night Shift did not stack up well against other NBC TV shows. Even among the Peacock Network’s summer series, it earned pretty low ratings, so the cancellation makes sense.
Here is more on The Night Shift cancellation, from NBC, via Deadline:
“We want to thank our amazing creators and executive producers, Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, for their dedication and stellar work; a cast and crew that were second to none; and the city of Albuquerque, N.M., which graciously opened its arms to us,” said Jennifer Salke, President of NBC Entertainment. “For four seasons The Night Shift gave audiences a window to heroic doctors, nurses and all-star medical workers who never hesitated to give their blood, sweat and time to help those most in need.”
What do you think? Should NBC have cancelled or renewed The Night Shift TV series for a fifth season? Were you still watching it? Sound off, in the comments.
It’s not fair, i love this show!!! Give it another chance!! Please!!!!
Why canceled it was Avery good show
Look at all these comments wanting the night shift back please. If we have to start a petition to bring it back. The night shift fans will do it.
Yes I think it should of gone a least another season but would of loved several more seasons after having a 5th season. Their was a big cliff hanger when Annie jumped off that bridge. Please reconsider it and bring back The Night Shift!
PISSED.
Not happy. I loved Night Shift and was looking forward to watching it this summer. Bring it back!!
I love this show. I looked forward to each episode. I was disappointed when it was cancelled. I hope they bring it back.!!!
Wow!! Season four was the best yet and now it is cancelled. NBC does it again — too bad!!
Night shift = AMAZING! PLEASE BRING BACK!
The night shift is a great show. They shouldnt have cancelled it. We get left watching lame shows and the good ones always tend to get cancelled. Hopefully they will reconsider bringing it back.
Love this realistic TV show. I look forward to watching! Please reconsider! God Bless!
I looked forward to watching the Night Shift. Unlike most tv drama series it seemed to deal with real life medical situations. And to highlight the life situations of people in the armed forces. Cancelling this show will be just another way to sweep reality under the rug. Sad to see it go.
I grew to love this show for its action and heart, they did a phenomenal job of show the expanse of care, compassion, determination, and loyalty through complex relationships in a variety of experiences. This has been one of my favorite shows. They did a great job.
The Night Shift was very good. I honestly think the problem is people are watching Netflix in order to watch TV with no commercials and can watch multiple episodes. I personally do not watch the shows I used to watch on regular tv because I am never home when they are on.
Agree. I watch on Netflix, but maybe Netflix can pick up the series. I love this show. They never told us what happened to Annie and TC not going to Syria! Him & Jordan definitely have another chance!!! Ugh broken heart
Why do they have to cancel good shows. I want this show back.
