The Night Shift has been renewed for a fourth season by NBC.
The medical drama most recently aired its third season this summer, and will return with its fourth season sometime in 2017. While no premiere date has been set, it will likely return for the summer season.
This past summer, The Night Shift averaged a 1.4 ratings and adults 18-49 with 6.8 million viewers overall, according to Nielsen’s “live plus seven” estimates. According to NBC, the show ranked as the top summer drama on the big four broadcast networks over the summer, remaining undefeated in its Wednesday 10 p.m. time slot.
“Week after week The Night Shift tells incredibly engaging and emotional stories that draw us into a unique world,” said Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment. “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.”
