NBC Cancels THE IRRATIONAL

THE IRRATIONAL is ending after two seasons, sources have confirmed to Give Me My Remote.

The cancellation comes after the show’s creative team took it upon themselves to try and get extra attention for the show in its final weeks via their own social media push. “Well, we just felt like [we] we’re coming out into the second half of season 2 [and] we really wanted to make a push and say, ‘Hey, this might be the best show you aren’t watching right now,'” THE IRRATIONAL showrunner Arika Lisanne Mittman told Give Me My Remote back in March. “Because I think the people who are watching the show seem to really like it, and we just want to help as best we can to make sure that people are aware of it, that people know it’s on.”

“It’s a really crowded landscape on TV,” she continued. “There’s so many good things to watch. There are so many things available all over the place, and people need to know that this show is on and how to find it. So we’ve all made concerted efforts to get more stuff up on social and find these new ways to get viewers.”

The drama starred Jesse L. Martin, Maahra Hill, Travina Springer, Molly Kunz, and Arash DeMax

Deadline was first to report the cancellation.
