"Code Black" season 3, however, is not on CBS' winter schedule for 2018. The show won't likely premiere until the end of the two-week Winter Olympics broadcast that will take place in March.

In July, CBS announced casting changes for "Code Black" season 3. Actress Melanie Chandra (Malaya Pineda), who was one of the original doctors in the series, will no longer be back.
Tyler Perez will fill up the spot that Chandra leaves as the new resident doctor. His character named Diego is characterized as rich and privileged.
The casting shakeup on "Code Black" is no longer surprising for fans since some actors were also removed from the show after the first season. The series never addressed the departures the way viewers expected since doctors working in an extremely challenging environment come and go or have high turnovers in real life.
"Code Black" is about the medical team in a fictional understaffed hospital in Los Angeles that treats patients in trauma and emergency situations. The show originally premiered on CBS in 2015 and earned a third season renewal in November 2016 for 16 episodes.
Marcia Gay Harden leads the cast of "Code Black" as Dr. Leanne Rorish alongside Rob Lowe as Dr. Ethan Willis and Luis Guzman as head nurse Jesse. Benjamin Hollingsworth (Dr. Mario Savetti), Harry Ford (Dr. Angus Leighton) and Boris Kodjoe (Dr. Will Campbell) also star.
