The third season of the Medical drama series The Night Shift is set to debut on June 1, 2016, on NBC in the United States.[2][3] It will be 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 former administrator, Michael Ragosa (Freddy Rodriguez).

On May 8, 2015, The Night Shift was renewed for a third season, which is expected to air as a midseason replacement in the 2015-16 television season, and will span 15 episodes.[1][4]

"We went [to San Antonio] to scout so we could expand the look of the show; get more of [the] city in it ... Had the honor of a return visit to the Center For The Intrepid. Also amazing food. … Great locations here."

—Gabe Sachs to My San Antonio[14]

Gabe Sachs revealed on Twitter that the first day of the writer's room for season 3 of The Night Shift was on November 17, 2015.[15] Sachs said that shooting for the third season would commence in February, and later Jill Flint announced that filming would start on February 1, 2016.[16][17] The sets began going up on December 15, 2015.[18][19] Actors Robert Bailey Jr., Brendan Fehr, and Jill Flint arrived in Albuquerque, NM to begin filming on January 24, 2016.[5] The first production meeting took place on January 27, 2016, and location scouting took place the day before.[20][21] Production on the third season began on February 1, 2016 in Albuquerque, NM.[22]

For the third consecutive season, the show will be filmed at Albuquerque Studios, and filming is expected to take place from February to June 2016. The tax incentives offered were cited as the main reason for filming in New Mexico, rather than in San Antonio.[14] The show will employ about 130 New Mexico-based crew members, and approximately 500 New Mexico background talent.[23] The first scene of the season filmed on February 2, 2016.[24] The show filmed in a casino for part of one episode.[25] Creator Gabe Sachs has said that this season would be more San Antonio-centric than either of the previous seasons. The Pearl Brewery, a local brewery, would be where the characters hang out after work, as well as "little taco places." Also, the costume department purchased T-shirts from local San Antonio locales such as, "Hogwild Records" and "Tapes on Main Avenue," because Sachs thought that "it would be cool if characters wore them" on screen.[14]

Casting

Jennifer Beals was cast as Doctor Syd Jennings.

Freddy Rodriguez, who portrays hospital administrator Michael Ragosa, revealed on Twitter that he would not be returning for the third season of The Night Shift, as he is starring in a new CBS drama pilot Bull.[26] Jeananne Goossen who portrayed Krista Bell-Heart, is also not returning for the third season; she says that she split "amicably" from the show.[27] On March 21, 2016, it was revealed that 90210 alum AnnaLynne McCord had been cast as a recurring character named Jessica Sanders, "a striking and driven pharamaceutical rep who's always looking for a way to make a deal." She will first appear in the fifth episode of the season, and in at least 3 additional episodes.[10] Lindsey Morgan will appear in a guest role as Kryztal, "a high-strung bride whose injury in a wedding-day accident reveals a deeper and more complicated medical problem."[11]
