Suits LA, Night Court, The Irrational among five shows cancelled at NBC
Suits LA has been cancelled after just one season
US broadcaster NBC has cancelled Suits LA, Night Court, The Irrational, Lopez vs Lopez and Found ahead of its upfronts presentation on Monday in New York.
Suits LA, a reboot of the popular USA Network drama that ran for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, is being cancelled after just one season. The new iteration of the series, from original Suits creator Aaron Korsh and produced by UCP, aired its final episode on NBC on Sunday.
Both Night Court and Lopez vs. Lopez have been cancelled after three seasons, while The Irrational and Found are being axed after two.
Night Court, a reboot of the 1980s sitcom of the same name, is produced by Warner Bros Television and Universal Television. It stars Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone, daughter of the lead character of the original show, as she navigates her job as a judge in Manhattan’s night court. According to reports, Warner Bros and Universal Television might try to shop the series to other outlets.
The Irrational, produced by Universal Television, is based on American professor and author Dan Ariely’s book Predictably Irrational. The crime procedural follows a world-renowned behavioural science professor who uses his unique expertise in human behaviour to help solve high-stakes cases for law enforcement and corporations.
Lopez vs Lopez, produced by Universal Television in association with Mohawk Productions, Travieso Productions, Mi Vida Loba and 3 Arts, stars George and Mayan Lopez as a once-estranged father and daughter navigating dysfunction, reconnection and all the headaches and joy in between as they make up for lost time.
Found was produced by Warner Bros Television and follows a recovery specialist and her team as they dedicate themselves to finding America’s missing people forgotten by the media, law enforcement and the public.
While cancellations are, of course, part and parcel of Upfronts season, this year NBC is cutting back on the overall number of entertainment hours it commissions as it makes way for its newly acquired NBA programming, which will span 180 hours in the upcoming broadcast season.
