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.”

Absolutely love this show… just finished season 4 on Netflix. Can’t believe it was cancelled, great characters & chemistry. Loved the character dynamics and backgrounds.
It should not of been cancelled. Another station needs to pick it up
No it shouldn’t have been canceled. I love the Night Shift and was looking forward to the 5 th season. I watched every episode and every season. It should be renewed for more seasons!
I am saddened by the news that The Night Shift will not return for a 5th season. I enjoyed the show and the variety of cast and personalities it entailed .
I love this show and recently got my fiancé hooked on it through net flicks. Hate to see it cancelled
Yes I was still watching it and it sucks that they just cancelled it with out giving us some closer.
Very sad to hear they cancelled Night Shift. I loved this show . Seems too often the rally good shows are cancelled and replaced with garbage.
I loved the show. Mistake to lose Tofer, he was loved.
I loved this show. I’m very disappointed that it has been canceled. It was a favorite of mine.
The timing, and day of show, is everything! Why would they put that show up against a well-viewed series in the first place. I liked that show and the characters.
Loved this show. Keep checking back to see if there will be a season 5! There are so many shows out there that get watched less than this…why not keep another good show that sets a good example on the air!?!
I watched this show. Loved it. It gave me a show to watch after my fall shows. It was a good show. I am not a fan of most of the new shows that are coming out. Last season didn’t end like it was a finale. Why not one more season at least to tie things up. Makes me mad networks do this. I’m not happy about this cancellation at all. Grrrr!!!!!!
Loved this show. It was so great to see our military doctors highlighted.
Ridiculous that this great show was canceled!
Best show ever!!! BRING IT BACK! They never leave a good show on for long! That’s why everyone watchs Netflix , Hulu, Amazon. ECT.
