CBS medical drama "Code Black" will not return for a fourth season. Creator/showrunner Michael Seitzman revealed the news in a note to fans early Thursday on Twitter.
“The sad news came today that we were cancelled,” Seitzman wrote. “It’s been a true joy to make this show and watch your response every week. Thank you for all of your passion. Truly, our best episodes have yet to air. We hope you’ll watch and enjoy them. We made them for you.”
The series returned April 25 to soft numbers (0.7 rating in 18-49 demo, 5.56 million total viewers), with its Season 3 premiere down 33% compared with last season’s debut.
It came down to the wire last year, with the show getting a last-minute Season 3 renewal, as it did for Season 2. Because of the late start, the network this year postponed the renewal decision until after the upfronts.
The decision not to renew for a fourth season was not a surprise. Seitzman wrote that the season finale was written as a series ender.
“We always suspected this would be the last season. We wrote it to end that way,” he tweeted.
