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.
Just started watching season 4 on Netflix in UK absolutely love this series all my friends have started watching too we need a season 5
Why did you guys canceled it I’ve been waiting for ever and it shouldn’t be canceled after 4 season and it’s not old

Please bring back night shift! It was one of the greatest shows I’ve seen! There are so many story lines unanswered. Jordan and TC? Will they ever get their happy ever after and a baby? Annie? The love birds? Paul going overseas? Please bring this back! I enjoy seeing so much teamwork even if it’s just a tv show. I’ve learned a lot to incorporate in my personal life from this show! BRING IT BACK!!!!
Night Shift is the only show we watch on NBC other than football so please bring it back for us and for your ratings!
BRING NIGHT SHIFT BACK PLEASE PLEASE WE LOVE THE SHOW
Calling on Netflix!!! If NBC decides it’s an official no go, Why don’t you pick it up and continue it?? I think it would be a great addition to your network.
I agree with you. Wonderful Idea – Netflix, please pick up Night Shift!
OMG! I just got done binge watching this show. I cried, I laugh and have had so much emotion for this show. The end of season four left me with so many questions to leave to my imagination. I LOVE this show and I am sad to see it go. I really wish NBC or another network atleast would consider doing atleast one more season to fill in the gaps and continue this great show with such amazing cast! Please bring this back! This show made me feel so good and want to make a difference myself.
I so wish you would bring it back it is a wonderful show. At least for 1 more season
Bring it back. Great show – normal situations – amazing cast.
I think the show “the night shift” needs to continue into another season or a few more seasons. I love this show, shows like this need to stay on the air. Good shows like this have been being replaced by idiotic shows. Please please PLEASE! keep this show around so there is something decent to watch.
Bring the show back. My favorite Med show.
My fiancé and I LOVED this show. We just binge watched all 4 seasons on Netflix to find out that it’s ended and not being renewed?! Ridiculous. Was such a good show!!! ):
Me too!
I would love for this show to come back… I love it and the cast and crew
I loved the show. I really hope they renew it instead of canceling because their ratings declined. there still are people who love the show!!! Grey’s Anatomy is even still going on after McDreamy died. #ContinueWithNightShift
