NBC has canceled the medical drama 'Brilliant Minds' after two seasons. The network confirmed the decision on May 1, with the show's second season finale airing on July 1, providing a conclusion for the series.
Despite the cancellation, NBC allowed the remaining episodes of the second season to air to allow fans to see the story's resolution. Liza Katz, President of Scripted Content at NBCUniversal, stated that the network wanted fans to experience the "great, very satisfying ending" and "finish the story with the characters."
Ratings decline was reportedly a factor in the network's decision. The show, which stars Zachary Quinto as Dr. Wolf and Teddy Sears as Dr. Nichols, concluded its 20-episode second season on July 1. While fans and cast members had expressed hope that the series might find a new home on another platform, no such developments have been announced.
For those looking to rewatch the series, 'Brilliant Minds' is available for streaming on Peacock. The platform offers two subscription tiers: Premium with ads for $10.99 per month and Premium Plus ad-free for $16.99 per month. Annual plans are also available, offering a discount for a 12-month subscription.
