Code Black Season 4?
The CBS medical drama was terminated after three seasons, but creator Michael Seitzman has revealed what a fourth season would have looked like, per Deadline:
There’s an aspect to Ryan McGarry’s documentary, which inspired the show, which I always found interesting. When the staff was moving from the old LA County Medical Center to the new one. It shook them up in a very particular way. In a way, there were ghosts in that old building that they found they needed and those ghosts didn’t exist in the new building. It affected the way they approached their jobs and their patients and they wondered if they could still be as intimate with them in the new building. I always wanted to do that in Code Black, take our staff out of Angels Memorial and see what would happen if we moved them into a new building. Flying a plane into Angels seemed to make that an easy creative transition.
[..] I wasn’t sure how much of these stories we would carry into next season, I just knew I wanted every character to have an explosive and emotional finale.
Are you satisfied or frustrated with the Code Black series finale? Happy/disappointed there wont be a 4th season?
Quentin DEVILLERS says
I want more season of code black.
Great finale but I want more and i need more of code black
Barbara says
I am so sad this has been cancelled. It is some of the highest quality programming on television. I would hope that perhaps a different network would pick it up and continue to grow it.
Ginger Firestone says
I agree that this show should never have been cancelled. Hopefully, as in Last Man Standing, another network will pick this show up and continue it. They leave crap on year after year, but if we have a really good show, it gets cancelled.
cat says
Totally agree, Code Black is a great series, cancelling it is just wrong. We have too many so called reality shows and they cancel a really good drama. What can the networks be thinking. Reality shows must be really cheap to produce.
Jane says
I want more code black. Please revive it in other network. When cbs cancelled this show is very broke my heart.
Kris says
I think is crappy to take away a really good drama. We already had to wait a long time for season 3. This was a show that could of gone far and done well now that Greys Anatomy is ending soon.
You should bring it back!!!
JP says
Im sad about that… and again the networks are pulling the plug on another GREAT SHOW. As i mentionned many times, there are far more networks now compared to 10 years ago. And the method of compiling viewing results are something from the 90’s. The networks are forgetting about tons of viewers. so they cancel show thats are worth watching.
and again… its sad. Another GREAT SHOW is gettin axed because the they dont know how to count.
Emmett Perrini says
Solid Medical Drama w some very good actors both new and established. It wasnt all about hooking up and really delved into the pressures of a ER and also the inner demons facing the workers. I thought the series finale was terrific-as I knew going in it was cancelled. The ending to me was very satisfying but sad in that there is no more. surprised this wasnt picked up by another network …..Good stuff
Rob says
I LOVED Code Black! It seems all the shows I like get cancelled. I’ve taken to watching mindless sitcoms and all the DVD’s I’ve collected over the years rather than watch the drivel that’s on TV nowadays. That being said, if Code Black “had” to end, they did a good, satisfying job of it. I think it concluded nicely even tho I want more…so much more…of Code Black!
Carol says
I discovered Code Black the first of this year. I ordered Season Two from Amazon and I really enjoyed it. I was excited about Season Three, but was disappointed that CBS decided not to renew. Great show!
Emily says
Great show! Awesome show!
Please pick up on another network!
Richard says
Typical reaction from American Networks, cancel all the good series and leave the dross running.
Blanche Montgomery says
I loved this show.. Why was it cancelled? Please bring it back!!
S.J. says
Code Black was so real! I can’t for the life of me figure out why it was cancelled. Could it be that when a show is recorded for later viewing it throws off the viewership numbers? PLEASE! Somebody pick up this show and keep it going!!!!!
Carole says
I was so disappointed this quality show was cancelled. I’m not usually attracted by medical dramas, never got into Grays…nothing since ER, but this had superb writing & a stellar cast, especially after Rob Lowe joined. I wish another network would revive it, three seasons is just not enough!
Jeannie Nutter says
Code Black is one of the few shows that everyone I talked to, watched. We all loved it. I just don’t understand how it got cancelled. We demand a recount! BRING CODE BLACK BACK! BRING CODE BLACK BACK! BRING CODE BLACK BACK! BRING CODE BLACK BACK! BRING CODE BLACK BACK!
Nancy says
The writing on Code Black is one of the best – the cast was believable and each week left you wanting for more. I just don’t understand CBS’ reasoning behind the cancellation. I’m beyond disappointed. I wish/hope another station will pick it up.
Irene says
It seems to me that the channels/producers tend to cancel programs that make you think of use your brain at any time and trade it for unthinking comedies with stupid written all over them. Have we as a country become so dumb there is no room for an intelligent program anymore or are the producers the ones without a modicum of intelligence?
M. Kay Taylor says
CODE BLACK should not have been cancelled. It’s an excellent hospital drama in which we can follow the lives and careers of the characters. I definitely want a 4th season! There is so much crap on tv, and CB is a really good drama.
Jans says
Please please bring this back – excellent shoe – excellent acting. Why are the good ones always axed???????
Judith says
I am extremely disappointed in CBS (not happy with ABC either. Don’t watch much NBC) I actually cried when Code Black was over this week. Excellent cast, excellent characters, fast paced, interesting and not too much soap opera stuff. I am thinking for what I pay DirecTV maybe I should get an Amazon Fire Stick, I already have Netflix, maybe add Roku and still come out ahead. This go round CBS cancelled 6 shows I had been watching including Scorpion! TV is loosing it’s ability to come up with good ideas and when they do they dump it. This year they are trying re-boots of more old stuff. Seriously? Buffy the Vampire Slayer had her day. I want Code Black back!
June Leathers says
I’m so sad & disappointed in CBS for cancelling such a good show. Maybe it could be picked up by Netflix.I just don’t understand why CBS cancels good shows. CBS must not read any of these comments or they’d see people love this show. If they go by the ratings and go by the younger generation only then that explains why all the good shows are canceled because it’s the younger generation that aren’t watching much TV but it’s the older generation that are watching more TV because they’re retired. So CBS wake up because your time is coming and you know what I mean.
Gina Reger says
Very disappointed that Code Black isn’t returning.My husband and myself love the show. All the actors are great and we will miss it. Please try to renew it!!!
Kelly Carnahan says
This show deserves to go on. Instead we’re stuck with shit…big brither, survivor, amazing race and that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Peg Ragley says
I will miss Code Black. One of the better sows and now gone.
Terri Rizzo says
Code Black is such a quality show, I cannot believe it was cancelled!! CBS, WHY? The acting, the writing, all top-notch. There are so many great story lines for each character that can come with this established show! Stick with it! There are so many schlock shows out there, I need quality shows to watch. I can’t afford to subscribe to other networks; I need good stuff on CBS! Please don’t cancel Code Black!
Angela says
I loved Code Black! I don’t understand why they keep the stupid reality shows & cancel the good shows! Just doesn’t make sence to me!
Deena M Peterson says
The conclusion felt rushed, and I wasn’t satisfied at all. Out of every medical drama on network television today, Code Black was about the medicine, about the patients, about the cases, and about the development and growth of the characters–not who is sleeping with who and all of the other outside-the-hospital-drama you find on the others. And it’s by far the most realistic. Very disappointed CBS cancelled this amazing drama.
Karen says
Code Black is one of the best TV shows and CBS chooses to cancel. Of all the stupid shows they decide to keep and they get rid if the good one. Why not cancel Big Brother or Survivor leave Code Black alone.
Becky Hauk says
Would like code black picked up by another network
Ann says
I miss it already!!! This show had such a great ensemble of actors. It needs to be picked up.
Ecas says
I will miss this show. I wish another network would have picked it up.
Laura Brody says
I’m crossing my fingers that another network will pick up this engaging, thought-provoking medical show. I didn’t want to watch the series finale because it’s cancellation would be real. Based on on the comments and the fact that for every comment here, there are probably thousands of people that didn’t go through the extra effort we all did, but still want to see the show continue, Code Black has a devoted following.
Randy says
Very sorry to see this drama end. The characters are very compelling. Too bad. A big mistake to cancel.
Bob Hird says
What is with these networks, they get a great show and they don’t know what to do. They’ve had great storylines and the ratings have been good. Keep the staff and stars and keep a good thing going.
Rita says
Another one of my favorite shows canceled. I absolutely loved “Code Black!” What is wrong with you CBS? I do not intend to watch any new shows next fall on Network TV. I am tired of being disappointed. Once the few shows that I watch are canceled you will lose me as a viewer. Drama does not get any better than “Code Black.”
Richard Allgood says
Code Black was a great show. Much better then medical shows on other networks. I hope that HBO, etc will pick up this winner.
Mac says
Whoever made the decision at CBS to cancel Code Black should be fired immediately
because they obviously has no idea of what kind of programming the public wants.
This seasons shows have been some of the best I have ever seen on TV. The writing and storyline has been great in every show. I really hope that another network will pick up Code Black and let it build a following for the people who enjoy quality programming.
Sally Broadhurst says
I wish Code Black was coming by back. Everyone I know loves this show. I don’t know how you can let a show with great stories and outstanding actors get cancelled when you could cancel so much crap on tv. CBS you really blew it!
Sally Broadhurst says
Really love Code Black. Would love to see it come back. I wish CBS WOULD GET TGEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ASS about this show and leave it on the schedule!
Brenda Siebenkittel says
Great show! Why does it seem that shows like these get canceled? I want more regular t.v. shows such as Black Code and some cute comedies. Tired of all of this fake reality shows and such. PLEASE someone pick up this show!!! It is also educational when concerning some medical symptoms and doctor’s medical terminology.
pat says
they need to renew this show!! it was the best show on CBS!!!
