About Third Watch

Third Watch aired 132 episodes across six seasons from September 1999 to May 2005 on NBC, created by John Wells and Edward Allen Bernero. Cops, firefighters and paramedics of the fictional 55th share the 3 to 11 shift, with Bosco, Faith, Doc and Kim anchoring the ensemble.

Watch Seasons 1 through 6 in air order, since partnerships and precinct politics carry season to season. Season 1 from 1999 sets the shift and the house rivalries. Mid seasons rotate cast exits and 9/11 era stories. The final run closes each branch of the house without a reunion film. Handheld camera work keeps the shift chaos feeling immediate throughout.

Good to know

Release order matches story order with no TV movies to slot in. Season 1 runs 22 episodes and sets the shift system. Seasons 2 through 5 deepen partnerships across 22 episodes each, with the fourth season tackling post 9/11 fallout. Season 6 closes the house in 22 episodes. The ER crossover episode fits inside Season 1, so air order keeps that cameo in place.
