Will season four be the last for The Night Shift? NBC has released new details for the upcoming season finale, but will the episode be a series finale?
The medical drama follows the emergency room staff of a San Antonio hospital. The cast includes Robert Bailey Jr., Eoin Macken, Jill Flint, Brendan Fehr, Scott Wolf, Tanaya Beatty, and JR Lemon.
Based on the ratings, The Night Shift‘s chances of a fifth season seem unlikely. This season, ratings have been down for the NBC series and the network has not yet announced a renewal decision. So far, season four is averaging a 0.70 in the 18-49 demo and 4.178 million viewers. That’s a near 30% drop in the ratings from season three.
Here’s the synopsis of the season four finale, which premieres on August 31st at 10 p.m. ET/PT:

What do you think? Should this be the last season for The Night Shift? Or should it be renewed for a fifth season?
Well twice we had to go to OnDemand to watch it, because football was on NBC instead. And like pretty much every series on tv, they all progressively go down in the ratings year to year. I do think if they are renewed, to stay at the hospital & not go to another country. I had no problem with it, just going by the comments online.
I agree with unlucky in TV. I dont watch much TV (although NBC has some of the only series I like) Night Shift is on of the few. Do these ratings include people who cant afford cable, and watch it on the internet?
Please keep this series going!
Every thing I like is cancelled. I give up on network TV
My family and I look forward to this show every week. Keep this show on the air.
Please. Keep this show on the air
I am a vet and I find this series to be awsome. Do not take it off the air. I love the story and characters.
Viewership is likely down bc at the end of the last two seasons, everyone kept saying it was cancelled so no1 looked for it anymore. Everyone I have discussed this with agree. When it was brought back, there needed to be more ads saying it was coming back.
NO, NO, No, please don’t end Night Shift! I love the characters and the story line. I will be disappointed if it ends.
Please, please don’t take away The Night Shift. It is one of the best shows on ANY channel. It’s an all American show and I look forward to watching to every time it comes on.
Renew The Night Shift for a fifth season, please.
I love this show. It honors our vets. Please bring it back.
Yes definitely awesome show
One if our favorite shows. Must return!!!
NO…..it SHOULD NOT end. Why does your network push and advertise some shows to death, but not others? This show is under advertised and under pushed. It’s a great show that needs many more years of life!
I agree!!!!!
This show has to come back!!!! Plz NBC!!!
