NBC Cancels Five Series Including Found, Night Court Ahead 2025 Season

NBC has announced several cancellations and renewals affecting its 2025-26 TV season lineup. The crime dramas Found and The Irrational, both of which saw declines in their second-season ratings, have been canceled amid scheduling challenges posed by increased NBA coverage. Found centers on Gabi Mosely, a recovery specialist aiding missing persons, while The Irrational stars Jesse L. Martin as a behavioral science professor solving complex cases; despite loyal fanbases and critical acclaim for the leads, both shows could not maintain sufficient viewership. Alongside these, NBC also canceled the comedies Night Court and Lopez vs Lopez, with fans expressing disappointment over the loss of Night Court after three seasons. On the other hand, beloved franchises like Law & Order and the One Chicago series have been renewed, with Law & Order entering its 25th season and continuing to perform well on both broadcast and streaming platforms. These programming decisions reflect NBC's strategic move to balance sports commitments and viewer preferences while consolidating its most successful series.
