'The Irrational' 3rd Season Canceled
Rana Atef NBC has decided not to renew "The Irrational" for a third season after the show failed to attract enough viewers and fans. According to a report published by Deadline, the cancellation isn't entirely surprising. After a promising first season, viewership for the crime series starring Jesse L. Martin declined significantly during its second season. The television landscape was quite different across the two seasons. The Irrational debuted in fall 2023 during a time when there was a shortage of original scripted content on broadcast networks due to the writers' strike. The show took advantage of the weak competition and a strong premiere episode to achieve a solid start on NBC and Peacock. The series premiere attracted 12.1 million viewers across all NBC platforms within the first 15 days of its release. By late November, the show had been renewed for a second season. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War

"Suits" Spinoff "Suits LA" Canceled After One Season
Yara Sameh 'Suits LA' has been canceled at NBC after just one season of the spinoff series of the beloved USA Network courtroom dramedy. The expansion of the 'Suits' universe originally launched on NBC in February. It will conclude with its forthcoming May 18 finale. The cast includes Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg. A number of original 'Suits' cast members have made appearances, including Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and David Costabile. The series had a lot of buzz behind it going into the premiere, given that 'Suits' had found a new life on streaming on Netflix. However, 'Suits LA' failed to match that hype, with the show making only a small dent in the ratings and drawing mostly negative reviews upon its debut. The official series description states: 'Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can't help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while we slowly unravel the events that years ago led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.' 'Suits' creator Aaron Korsh created the series and serves as executive producer. David Bartis, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, Anton Cropper, Genevieve Sparling, Rick Muirragui and Jon Cowan also executive produce. UCP is the studio. This is the latest cancellation NBC has announced going into their upfront presentation in New York on May 12. 'Suits LA' now joins fellow drama 'The Irrational' as well as comedies 'Lopez vs. Lopez' and 'Night Court.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
