TV show description:
This medical drama takes place at the underfunded San Antonio Memorial Hospital and follows the men and women who work the night shift — where the toughest and craziest cases always seem to come through the door. The staffmembers are an irreverent and special breed.
Adrenaline junkie TC Callahan (Eoin Macken) served three grueling tours of duty in Afghanistan. An Army doctor who uses unorthodox methods to save lives, Callahan’s brash style does not always sit well with the bosses. He is however a brilliant surgeon and a fearless advocate for his patients.
His best friend is Topher (Ken Leung), a quick-witted free spirit who knows how to manipulate the system in his favor. He will do whatever it takes to save a patient’s life.
TC’s protégé is Drew (Brendan Fehr), a former Army medic turned doctor who knows how to let off steam with a casual prank. When lives are at stake however, he’s all business. He’s proud to be part of the often-ridiculed night shift and engages in mixed martial arts as a way to reduce stress that comes with the job.
The new night shift boss is TC’s ex-girlfriend, Doctor Jordan Alexander (Jill Flint). A brilliant physician, she’s recently been promoted with a mandate to bring order to the emergency room. She struggles to keep everyone in check, but TC doesn’t make it easy.
Paul Cummings (Robert Bailey Jr.) is fresh out of medical school and still adjusting to the rigors of an emergency room as a surgical resident. Krista (Jeananne Goossen) is also a new intern. She’s smart and beautiful and as comfortable with her sensuality as she is with a scalpel.
Kenny (JR Lemon) is a seasoned nurse who keeps the doctors focused on the tasks at hand. He works hard to ensure that patients get the care they need, even if it means he has to break a few rules.
Landry de la Cruz (Daniella Alonso) is a fun-loving Texan and the lone psychiatrist on the night shift. She finds she has to tend to her colleagues as much as she cares for the patients on the ward.
Making their lives even tougher is the fact that the night shift is now under new senior management. Michael Ragosa (Freddy Rodriguez) is an unflinching bureaucrat determined to cut costs but he’s also hiding a health secret that has kept him from becoming a doctor. He often releases his frustrations on his staff, refusing to let anyone see him as weak and ineffectual.
Episode #45 — Resurgence
A shooting at a nearby college sends TC (Eoin Macken), Jordan (Jill Flint), Drew (Brendan Fehr) and Amira (guest star Rana Roy) into the field, where they assist Rick (guest star Luke Macfarlane) with a deadly situation. Scott (Scott Wolf) implements a new training program and locks horns with Julian (guest star James McDaniel). Drew (Brendan Fehr) struggles with frustrations about going to Army Ranger School while Shannon (Tanaya Beatty) and TC both contemplate their future at San Antonio Memorial. (Courtesy NBC)

I liked Night Shift please bring it back
I LOVED this show!!!! I am so bummed they cancelled it!!!
I really loved this show it makes you fell as if you truly know the cast or have some weird tv/ reality connection with them. I don’t think it should have been cancelled we feel as if it was left with a cliff hanger in a way. Please bring back the night shift.
Please bring this show back, it is such an interesting show and you feel truly connected to the people. I hope you change you mind and bring it back
One of the best shows on TV showing the struggle Vets have when they return stateside for medical care, and dealing with civilian life, as well as the ER drama. It’s a shame NBC has chosen to cancel The Night Shift. Considering it was on Thursday nights, was there to much competition from Greys Anatomy which is going into it’s 15th season? IMO Night Shift had that kind of viewing potential if it were given a better time slot. Look how great the Chicago shows are doing, I was hoping to see the same with SAM.
It was a great show when it was on the air
2014-2017 You can find all episodes on Netflix. I agree it was a great show, I binge watched it recently 🙂
Please consider bringing this show back. It is an excellent program and outrank many of the frivolous shows on TV these days.
What happened to the Show
Please bring the show back. Just my opinion, but I really liked that program.
Please bring it back
PLEASE bring THE NIGHT SHIFT back. This was the best ER show that’s ever aired. I am amazed at some of the shows that are still airing and that you cancelled this one. It opened eyes on how our VETS were in combat. Again , PLEASE return the NIGHT SHIFT.
