Synopsis of Code Black

Code Black is set at the fictional Angels Memorial hospital in Los Angeles, California. Its emergency room treats more patients than its staff and resources can handle. Four first-year residents work there alongside their instructors, including Dr. Leanne Rorish, the director of the residency program, played by Marcia Gay Harden, and head nurse Jesse Salander, in charge of Luis Guzmán. Residents and mentors try to treat every patient who comes in, although the lack of resources forces them to make difficult decisions under constant pressure. The series is inspired by a documentary by Ryan McGarry filmed at a real hospital in Los Angeles. It airs on CBS and is created by Michael Seitzman.

Trivia about Code Black

Production designer Richard Toyon photographed the real hospital and, when the series moved into production, recreated its facilities on the Walt Disney stages in Burbank.
The crew built a fictional machine, dubbed the Code-Black-ometer, using vintage button consoles and Chevy taillights that glow from green to black.
To avoid the spotless look of other medical dramas, the set was dirtied and aged, and Toyan even poured fake blood onto the floor tiles.
Maggie Grace was cast to play Leanne Rorish but left the project before filming began, and the role went to Marcia Gay Harden.
Before filming the series, the cast went through a “medical boot camp” to learn clinical terminology and the basic procedures needed for their scenes.
CBS canceled the series in May 2018 after three seasons, although it later considered reversing the decision before ruling it out for good.
The third season averaged 5.7 million viewers and a demo rating of 0.7, despite outperforming renewed shows such as «Elementary» and «Madam Secretary» among the key demographic.
A musical sequence in the third season was rehearsed with a choreographer, shot with multiple cameras and completed in less than a day.
