It is being reported that Netflix has cancelled Pulse after one season. The news comes three months after the medical drama released its freshman run. The show was the streamer's first original medical procedural, but it ultimately garnered mixed reviews and only spent two weeks on the Nielsen streaming charts.

The series follows Danny Simms, a third-year medical resident who is unexpectedly promoted when Maguire Hospital's respected chief resident, Dr. Xander Phillips, is suspended. As Danny and Phillips try to figure out where they stand, an approaching hurricane is worsening, creating an onslaught of trauma cases. Maguire goes into lockdown and the rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of Danny and Phillips' relationship.
