CBS's LA-based emergency-room drama, “Code Black,” getting axed before it could get a fourth season has been quite the concern for fans since the cancellation's announcement. The announcement for “Code Black's” cancellation was a rude awakening for the show and its fans, coming in mid-season while the show was still airing, pulling the rug from under a potential "Code Black" Season 4.
"Code Black's" showrunner, Michael Seitzman, heartbreakingly announced in a tweet back in May that the show was being canceled.
Dear #CodeBlack fans, the sad news came today that we were cancelled. 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.

This was just after "Code Black" aired its fourth episode. Seitzman has stated his disappointment at the series's cancellation even before their “best episodes have yet to air.” While Seitzman's sentiments about the show's cancellation betray how close he is to "Code Black's" production, the show's ratings paint another picture of why “Code Black” Season 4 isn't going to happen.
Season 1's ratings ended with an average of 7.1 million viewers. Viewership peaked during the season's 10th episode, but the show ended the season with its finale 2.2 million viewers short of its peak.
The second season, unfortunately, did not fare better than Season 1. The season's rating ended with a disappointing 5.9 million viewers with the ages 18 to 49 demographic losing interest in the show sometime around the fourth episode. It also closed with a dismal season finale.
Season 3's overall performance is much lower than both previous seasons. In the latter part of the season, it may seem that the 18 to 49 demographic has taken notice of “Code Black” once again as Episodes 8 to 10 have shown an increase in viewers from this demographic. Unfortunately, they don't come with the numbers needed to sustain the show. The season's lowest point was at episode 11.
Unless a miracle happens that improves the show's season finale ratings, “Code Black” Season 4 will most likely be relegated to the “what-could-have-beens” shelf along with other decent, or even exceptional, shows that just didn't click with the public.
