"Code Black" took a risk by making major changes in Season 2, particularly in its cast members. It may not be turning out well as the management expects, and predictions suggest that the show is going to be cancelled by May 2017. Meanwhile, "Code Black" Season 2 is adding a new cast member.
Jay Harrington has been cast the new doctor in "Code Black" Season 2. According to TVLine, the "Benched" alum will be playing as Dr. Leo Fields who will appear on a recurring basis.
Dr. Leo Fields is the most respected in Los Angeles. He will be forced to operate on one of the show's major character. As to who would be that major character and why he or she would need a neurosurgeon are yet to unfold in "Code Black" Season 2.
Jay Harrington is known for his role in "Better Off Ted," "Hot in Cleveland," "American Reunion" and "Octupus." He joins "Code Black" Season 2's regular Rob Lowe (Colonel Ethan Willis), and other cast members including Jillian Murray (Dr. Heather Pinkney), Boris Kodjoe (Dr. Will Campbell) and Marcia Gay Harden (Dr. Leanne Rorish).
Meanwhile, "Code Black" is likely not going to have a Season 3. "Code Black" Season 2 recorded another series low rating of 1.0 among adults 18-49, according to TV By The Numbers by zap2it.com. The publication downgraded the show to cancellation by May 2017, as it can't pull off a good ratings while it airs against Game 7. The CBS might have to make some changes to its scheduled lineup like what it did for "Criminal Minds," just so it can save the show.
After a successful first season run, the CBS medical drama "Code Black" moved to significantly overhaul the series for creative reasons. This is because they wanted to portray the real-life scenario in a hospital where interns and doctors come and go.
"Code Black" Season 2 airs every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. on CBS.
