As THE IRRATIONAL wraps up its first season on Monday, February 19, the NBC drama has had an unconventional freshman year.
The Jesse L. Martin-led series was one of the few to air original episodes in Fall 2023, having banked seven episodes before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes shut down production for months. The show aired its series premiere the day after the WGA strike ended—but they still had to wait for the actors’ strike to end in order to finish production. Then, a little over a week after the SAG-AFTRA strike concluded, it was announced that NBC had actually added an additional installment to season 1, bringing the episode count to 11. (The good news? The show also got an early season 2 renewal.)
But adding an extra episode to a show with a planned mythology/arc came with its own complications.

As THE IRRATIONAL’s Alec (Jesse L. Martin) works to solve cases using his behavioral expertise, there’s a bonus to it all: Being in close quarters with his ex-wife, Marisa (Maahra Hill).
“We’ve seen a lot of will they/won’t they where they have a meet-cute in the pilot…the kind of CASTLE format,” THE IRRATIONAL creator Arika Lisanne Mittman tells Give Me My Remote in the video below. “I wanted to spin it a little bit on a couple who already did; been there, done that, and they’re divorced and they’re both trying to move on—but they can’t quite stay away from each other.”

When TIMELESS star Claudia Doumit first read the two-part finale, she enthused it felt like a fan wrote the installments. Writer Arika Lisanne Mittman, who penned the second hour (Lauren Greer wrote “The Miracle of Christmas Part I”), agreed with that sentiment as a self-professed fan of the series herself. But there was also an important goal for the final episodes.
“It is a love letter to fans, in a lot of ways,” Mittman says. “They brought us back. They got us this movie. We really wanted to reward all of the fans.”
So what’s in store? Mittman teases the character-focused two-part finale, getting to play in a Christmas landscape, what this experience has meant to her, and more… Read more
