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.
I’m really sorry Night Shift was cancelled. It’s a great show and I’m going to miss it.
I have watched all episodes of “The Night Shift” and am very sad it’s been cancelled. I can think of other NBC shows they should have cancelled instead. As an RN, the episodes were exciting and powerful and I appreciated them. One of the best medical shows on TV. I wish NBC would change their mind.
I loved this show. Please renew it or sell it to another network. This was and is a well written show that deserves to continue. I hate that NBC has cancelled it. They have done this to several shows that I have really like—–The Mysteries of Laura——Brooklyn Taxi——Genius——-
Really a shame! It’s very disappointing to hear the decision by NBC to cancel one of the better shows on television. The characters are great. The story lines are interesting and the acting is superb. So sorry to hear it’s been cancelled.
I looked forward to The Night Shift! The fastest hour medical show I’ve watched in a long time! And the best! It is a real shame that the show gets cancelled to bring on the game shows, talk shows etc. Find it in your heart to do some more seasons. Sure would make a lot of viewers happy.
Tv is getting so out of sight with the garbage on some stations it’s really not worth turning it on!
I love this show please do not cancel, RENEW! The ratings are down because NBC should make this a regular season show and not just a summer show. I do miss Topher and I wish they would have T.C. and Jordan together, but love the writing and the characters. I hope another network will pick it up, it deserves a full time slot somewhere.
Hate that it was cancelled ! It was a really good show
I loved the series night shift sorry to see it was cancelled.
I love this show. NBC cancels a lot of great shows. If NBC doesn’t like it sell it to another network. I realize that this show was a summer show but if you don’t get a lot of viewers maybe it’s not the show maybe it’s the shows it has to compete with. There are plenty of time slots that there is nothing on worth watching. Please rethink this NBC
Love the show. Can’t believe it’s cancelled. Had so many followers. Could never wait for the next show
