Since Dr. Topher Zia (Ken Leung) is now gone, and Dr. Julian Cummings (James McDaniel) purchased the hospital, will the staff of San Antonio Memorial be able to keep it together? Will the ratings rise or fall? Will The Night Shift TV show be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
An NBC medical drama, 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.

Love this show. Need more episodes in a season.
Excellent casting with chemistry between the cas. Good writing. Keeps my attention at all times. I would really like Night Shift continue.
Yes. I enjoy watching the show. They need to keep it going.
I really enjoy it. It’s not your typical medical drama. As a nurse of 43 years I like medical shows that entertain and aren’t too soap operatic.
Love this show ..look forward to Thursday nights……
The Night Shift is an awesome show, and look forward to it every Thursday night. Would like to see it on all year, but wait all year for it to start in the summer! Hopefully it is not cancelled, and has many, many more seasons to follow!!!!!!!!
Renew it, great show!

I really love this show!! Please don’t cancel it,please keep the seasons coming.
I love The Night Shift! It is one of the greatest scoring nbc shows ever
I love this show and have been binge watching it on Netflix. Am watching last episode of season 3 tonight. I feel this show is so great it should go on for as long as the writers want to continue. I find it so informative and love the interaction between the doctors and patients. As far as I’m concerned its the best medical drama I’ve seen. Here’s hoping to continued success. I’ll be watching for sure.
Who is watching this show? How does it score these ratings?! Obviously it’s not hitting hard in the 18-49 Demo, but it always stays consistent in overall
Viewers, it’s like NBC’s one CBS SERIES, lol. The old soccer mom series of NBC Summer Lineup.
Love The night shift but when do we get the new season in the UK?
It’s now on Netflix in the UK
