It seems that NBC is no longer interested in making more of its police procedural crime drama series, The Irrational, as the Jessie L. Martin-led series has been canceled by NBC after two seasons.
The biggest possible reason behind The Irrational’s cancellation is possibly its weak ratings, as the police procedural series started off well in its first season but saw a big decline during the run of its second season.
Created by Arika Mittman, the NBC series is based on the 2008 book Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. It follows Alec Mercer, who’s one of the biggest names in the world of behavioral science. He uses his expertise to assist government authorities in solving complex criminal cases.
The Irrational stars L. Martin as Professor Alec Mercer, Maahra Hill as FBI Special Agent Marisa Clark, Arash DeMaxi as Rizwan Asadi, Molly Kunz as Phoebe Duncan, and Travina Springer as Kylie Mercer.
The Irrational is not the only series that was axed by NBC today, as we also saw the cancelation of Suits: L.A., Lopez vs Lopez, Found, and Night Court.
