CBS canceled the drama in late May, but left it on the air to play out the remainder of its third season. Those summer episodes, however, performed pretty consistently in the ratings, well enough for CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl to tell reporters Sunday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour that he’s taking a second look at the show.
CBS’s spring lineup is pretty well set now, in the wake of Thursday’s announcement of the spring return dates for two of the network’s hit series. Elementary, the modern-day Sherlock Holmes drama starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, will return for Season 6 Monday, April 30, at 10 p.m. ET, while medical drama Code Black, headlined by Rob Lowe, Boris Kodjoe and Marcia Gay Harden, is back for a third season Wednesday, May 2, at 10 p.m..
Medical drama Code Black has been renewed for Season 3 at CBS. The series has enjoyed decent ratings, but nevertheless ranked as one of CBS’ lowest-rated scripted series this season.
