List of episodes

The first season of the medical drama series The Night Shift aired between May 27, 2014 and July 15, 2014, on NBC in the United States. It was produced by Sachs/Judah Productions, and Sony Pictures Television with series creators Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah serving as executive producers.

The series follows the overnight shift at San Antonio Medical Center, where three of the surgeons have a connection to the U.S. military. Dr. TC Callahan (Eoin Macken) is an ex-Army medic who initially exhibits PTSD-type symptoms, having watched his brother die right in front of him on the battlefield. He tends to go his own way at the hospital, frequently breaking rules and butting heads with his ex-girlfriend and newly appointed head of the night shift, Dr. Jordan Alexander (Jill Flint), and the hospital's administrator, Michael Ragosa (Freddy Rodriguez).

On October 8, 2012, NBC placed a pilot order, under the name After Hours, and ordered four additional scripts on April 18, 2013 under the final name The Night Shift.[1][2] It was renewed for a second season on July 1, 2014, after airing only 5 episodes.[3]

The first episode premiered to 7.67 million viewers, winning its timeslot. It garnered a 1.6/5 adults 18-49 rating, second only to America's Got Talent for the whole day.
