What’s This TV Show About?
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. Although they’re kind of quirky, San Antonio Memorial’s emergency room night shift staff is extraordinary. They’ll risk almost anything to save their patients. Season three ended with Paul Cummings (Bailey) leading a staff walk-out after his father bought the hospital and fired Topher. Meanwhile, overseas, TC Callahan (Macken) was knocked out, during a refugee camp bombing. The fourth season picks up two days later, with everyone dealing with the consequences of their decisions. In Syria, TC’s proclivity for chaos helps him save people.

Telly’s Take
Although season four premiered with much lower numbers than last season, it is still a bit too early to use the ratings to predict whether NBC will cancel or renew The Night Shift for season five. That said, this show’s audience has declined from year to year, particularly in its demo ratings. While I haven’t left my perch, my interest and appetite are piqued. For now, I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with any developments. Subscribe for free updates on any Night Shift cancellation and renewal news.

I look forward to seeing Night Shift and am upset that you chose to cancel this show.
It is one of the best medical dramas on t.v. of the few medical shows this was the only show on during the summer.
I am quite upset that I will not be able to see Night Shift, I would have watched it for years to come.
Poor decision by NBC. I think it was a very poor decision.

Absolutely love the show was upset to find there was not going to be a 5th season. To be honest I would be happy if there was 10 , 20, or even more seasons it is so action packed it’s a great loss to TV you always seem to take off the good stuff and leave us with the rubish, so not happy !!!
