Last May, NBC announced that it would be adding two new medical shows. Trauma would begin airing in the Fall and Mercy would come in early 2010. That plan got messed up when production on Parenthood, another new show, was delayed, and Mercy was brought in early to take its place.
With two new medical dramas on the network, many suspected there was going to be one too many. A few months later, one is struggling to survive and the other has been effectively cancelled.
Trauma revolves around a group of first responder paramedics in San Francisco. The high-action series is populated by an ensemble cast that includes Derek Luke, Cliff Curtis, Anastasia Griffith, Kevin Rankin, Aimee Garcia, Billy Lush, Jamey Sheridan, and Taylor Kinney.
The drama has had problems attracting viewers from the beginning. Its premiere only attracted 6.68 million viewers and a 2.2/5 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. The following week, the numbers sank to 5.36 million and a 1.7/4. The numbers have been rising slowly since then but not by much. Monday’s episode hit a post-premiere high of 5.77 million and a 1.9/5, putting the show in fourth place for the timeslot.
To no surprise, NBC has decided not to order additional episodes of Trauma. While all 13 episodes of the series will be aired, the network won’t be ordering any more. It’s unknown if the cast and crew will be able to give the show any closure by the last episode.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that Trauma is ending or should it have been cancelled awhile ago?
UPDATE: Trauma returning with new episodes.

Very disappointed…kept wondering when it was going to start back up. I get so sick of reality tv. Truly enjoyed it and sure wish they would bring it back – if not a regular series maybe a couple of 2 hour episodes every now and then!
Please bring Trauma back, it was an awesome show! I was really looking forward to season 2 and im very Dissappointed to hear that it has been cancelled! as you can see from the post that people have postted, it needs to be brought back for a season 2! Me Myself think that it was under rated.
My family and I are absolutely gutted that a show as adrenaline pumping, action packed and fab cast has been cancelled.
This is not the first time fantastic and exciting shows are cancelled as soon as you get into them and get to know the characters its taken from us!! Totally awesome show we were really looking forward to seeing the second series and instead left without! Very disappointed.
PLEASE BRING TRAUMA BACK!!!!!!
I would really like it if trauma would return I really love the show and I would vote it number 1 over any nbc series on air please bring it back
Trauma A good show from the begining i think you should bring it back
This was a very interesting show I loved it the cast was great I’m very sad that this show was canceled… To be honest tv sucks right now and this is the only one that caught my eye, BRING TRAUMA BACK!!!!!!
I would really like the show to come back on. It is really upsetting that everytime you find something of intrest to get into and start watching the show gets taken off the air. Most of the time the shows that are put on to replace them are lame and purely dumb. At this point I am refusing to watch NBC at all due to this show being taken off. It is funny how money talks.
Bring back trauma please!!!!!
Sinceramente!
Estou gostando muito do seriado , nem tudo começa bem , quem sabe depois de algum tempo ou mudança de horário não atraia mais telespectadores?!
Foi um espetáculo , vicia pra valer.
POR FAVOR CONTINUEM COM A PRODUÇÃO DE TRAUMA.
^^
With all the reality shows and competition shows on tv right now, I pretty much stopped watching the major networks. I had given up faith in primetime tv. Trauma was the best new show that I had seen in a very long time. NBC should bring this show back. It was an addictive, enjoyable and realistic show. BRING BACK TRAUMA!
Please bring the show back it was such a good show!!!!
I wish that NBC would get to there senses and bring Trauma……….IT was such a amazing show and it has to deal with events that happen daily, un like all the silly reality show. BRING BACK TRAUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show was Amazing! I was stuck on netflix streaming and completing all 18 episodes in 4 days! I had originally seen it when it first came out and would watch every week but then it got cancel ed : /, I’m really disappointed and want to see more. Great characters, great stories and great scenerios. Please bring back trauma.
