CBS has pulled the plug on medical drama Code Black.

The medical drama set in a Los Angeles trauma centre won't be returning to the network for a fourth season, becoming the latest casualty of a string of cancellations.

In its demise, Code Black joins Scorpion, Wisdom of the Crowd, Superior Donuts, Kevin Can Wait, 9JKL, Living Biblically and Me, Myself & I in being axed by CBS this season.

The unfortunate news was announced by producer Michael Seitzman on Twitter on Thursday (May 24), along with the clarification that the final nine Code Black episodes will air this summer as scheduled.

"Dear #CodeBlack fans, the sad news came today that we were cancelled," he wrote. "It's been a true joy to make this show and watch your response every week. Thank you for all of your passion.

"Truly, our best episodes have yet to air. We hope you'll watch and enjoy them. We made them for you."

Seitzman also answered a fan worried that Code Black would face the same fate as Lucifer, which was cancelled on a cliffhanger ending after writers weren't given a head's up by Fox.

"This season finale was written to be a series finale," he assured the fan. "You won't want to miss it."

The impressive of Code Black included Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden as the Angels Memorial Hospital ER's attending doctor Leanne Rorish, Rob Lowe as an army physician (Col Ethan Willis) stationed at the hospital and Luis Guzmán as senior nurse Nose Santiago.

Code Black has aired in the UK on W.
