NBC has canceled two shows — Brilliant Minds and Stumble — as it heads toward its upfront presentation.
Medical drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, will end after two seasons. NBC earlier this year pulled the show from its post-Olympics schedule; its final episodes will run during the summer, beginning May 27.
The comedy Stumble, a mockumentary about a college cheer squad and its coach (Jenn Lyon), is done after a single season. Its final episode aired in March.
Both shows were among NBC’s least watched scripted series of the season. With seven days of linear viewing (i.e., before streaming), Brilliant Minds averaged just above 3 million viewers, a smaller total than any other drama on the network this season. Stumble, meanwhile, came in at 2.24 million viewers.
NBC still has three shows waiting to hear word on their status for the 2026-27 season: dramas Law & Order and The Hunting Party and first-year comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
More to come.
