NBC is extending The Night Shift. Sony Pictures Television fought for and received a second season for the one-hour medical drama from creators Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The Night Shift renewal comes after the series generated strong showings following NBC's biggest summer draw, America's Got Talent. It will likely return in summer 2015 with a 14-episode order. The Night Shift has averaged a solid 6.7 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 since debuting May 27. Since landing a series order in 2013, The Night Shift has had somewhat of a rocky road. Originally slated for a midseason bow, NBC pushed the series to a less-competitive slot in the summer.
