“The Night Shift” has been renewed for a fourth season at NBC, TheWrap has learned.
“Week after week ‘The Night Shift’ tells incredibly engaging and emotional stories that draw us into a unique world,” NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in a statement Thursday. “We are delighted to renew the show for an exciting fourth season and look forward to continue working with such a great cast and executive producing team.”
During Season 3, the medical drama averaged a 1.0 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic and 5 million viewers per episode in live-plus-same day. It enjoyed a nice lift in live-plus-seven, however, averaging a 1.4 rating and 6.8 million viewers overall.
The cast includes Eoin Macken, Jill Flint, Brendan Fehr, Robert Bailey Jr., JR Lemon, Tanaya Beatty and Scott Wolf.
“The Night Shift” is produced by Sony Pictures Television. Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah serve as executive producers and writers.
11 Early Winners and Losers of the Fall TV Season (Photos)
Winner: MacGyver This reboot of the classic 80's series defied the conventional wisdom that a Friday night timeslot equals death for a new show. Instead, the show has managed to maintain solid ratings and recently scored a full-season order.
CBS
Loser: Pure Genius The only new CBS fall show to premiere to soft ratings, this medical drama starring Augustus Prew and Dermot Mulroney opened to just 6.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating. And as shows tend to dip in their subsequent weeks, this one could be ripe for cancellation already.
CBS
Winner: Supergirl's CW move The Girl of Steel went from being a bubble show on CBS to the top-rated show on The CW. This was a no-brainer.
The CW
Loser: Notorious "Notorious" has the unfortunate distinction of being the first fall show to have its episode order cut - essentially a cancellation.
ABC
Winner: This Is Us Who knew a wholesome, earnest family drama would be the breakout hit of the fall TV season? NBC needed a hit, and it got one in Dan Fogelman's latest.
NBC
Winner: Lethal Weapon Among the hits and misses of movies being turned into TV shows, Fox's redo of the Mel Gibson cop comedy is firmly in the "hit" column, thanks to the strong chemistry between the two leads.
Fox
Winner: Jeff Zucker We may all come out losers when this election is finally decided, but with the way CNN has cashed in on ratings thanks to Trump's antics, CNN boss Jeff Zucker definitely won't be one.
CNN
Winner: FX Move over, HBO and AMC. From "Fargo" to "American Horror Story" to "Atlanta" to "Better Things," FX has become the go-to cable network for quality programming.
FX
Loser: Divorce Sarah Jessica Parker's big return to TV and the network of "Sex and the City" didn't make much of a splash, and "Insecure" and "Westworld" are both buzzier.
HBO
Winner: Designated Survivor Kiefer Sutherland's return to TV was a resounding success, and "Designated Survivor" is a hit with audiences and critics alike.
ABC
Loser: NFL Games There are only a few guarantees in life: death, taxes, and strong TV ratings for NFL games. That last one has been a bit shaky thus far this season, however, as weak match-ups, sloppy play, altered rules and even a contagious national anthem protest have turned a significant number of viewers off.
