“Code Blue” to get New Year’s special

Fuji TV’s medical drama series “Code Blue” ended its run on Thursday, but the network has announced that a special two-hour episode will air during the New Year’s period at the start of 2009.

According to Video Research Ltd.’s viewership data, the last episode had ratings of 19.5%, putting the entire series average at 15.9%. With the rest of this season’s dramas almost over as well, it appears that “Code Blue” will have the highest ratings of the summer.

The special episode is set to take place after the events of the final episode. The main cast has been confirmed as returning, including Tomohisa Yamashita, Yui Aragaki, Erika Toda, Manami Higa, and Yosuke Asari.

Fuji TV has not yet scheduled an exact date for the special.
