NBC Announces the Cancellation of Three Shows
In an effort to make room in its schedule for NBA programming, NBC announced the cancellation of three different shows on Friday.
According to reports from Deadline, NBC has made the decision to cancel Suits: LA, Lopez vs. Lopez, and The Irrational. The network announced all of the decisions on Friday afternoon.
Suits: LA was a high-profile spinoff of the long-running USA Network series Suits which was on the air for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. Despite high expectations and a star-studded cast that included several returning characters from the original series, the spinoff had worse-than-anticipated numbers and has been canceled after just one season.
Lopez vs. Lopez is an American sitcom created by George Lopez that follows a dysfunctional family highlighted by a father and daughter reconnecting after being estranged for several years. While the show ran for three seasons on NBC, it will not get a fourth.
The Irrational is a crime drama that is loosely based on the life of Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist and professor at Duke University, and his book Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions. In the show, the protagonist uses his expertise to help the police and the FBI solve high-stakes cases. Though it was renewed for a second season, it has been canceled after two seasons.
After winning a bid over the summer, NBC is set to broadcast NBA basketball once again starting with the 2025-26 season, marking the return of the network's coverage of the league. However, with more basketball games coming to the show's schedule, the network obviously had to make room in its lineup, and these shows were all casualties of that process.
