NBC Cancels 'The Irrational' After Two Seasons and Passes on 'Suits: L.A.' After One

NBC has officially pulled the plug on The Irrational after just two seasons and decided not to move forward with Suits: L.A., the much-anticipated spinoff of the hit legal drama Suits, after its first season.

The Irrational Canceled After Season 2

Despite solid initial ratings and a unique premise, The Irrational, starring Jesse L. Martin as a behavioral science expert solving high-stakes crimes, will not return for a third season. NBC confirmed the cancellation today, citing a combination of declining viewership in Season 2 and shifting network priorities heading into the 2025–2026 TV season.

The show premiered in September 2023 and drew attention for blending psychology with procedural storytelling. While it developed a loyal fan base and received positive feedback for Martin’s performance, the series struggled to maintain consistent ratings over time.

Suits: L.A. Dropped After One Season

In a surprising move, NBC also opted not to renew Suits: L.A., a spinoff created by Suits creator Aaron Korsh.

Set in Los Angeles and centered around a new character, Ted Black—a former federal prosecutor turned legal fixer—the show was positioned to reboot the Suits brand for a new audience.

Why NBC Canceled Both Shows

While NBC has not released full statements detailing the cancellations, viewership decline and budget cuts are the reason.

Fan Reactions and Future Possibilities

Fans of The Irrational have already taken to social media to express disappointment, with some calling for the series to be picked up by a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. As of now, no plans have been announced for either a revival or continuation of the storylines.

For Suits: L.A., it remains unclear whether the show will find a new home.
