Found and The Irrational have been renewed for a second season by NBC

Peacock network NBC has renewed its drama series Found and The Irrational for a second season.
The fact that both series had episodes taped before the start of the broadcast season was a boon for NBC, which allowed it to air new scripted series while many of its rivals turned to reality series and licensed programming as a result of the twin strikes.

Found

Found has currently aired nine episodes with two more to go before the end of the year. The series will then return on Tuesday, January 9 for the final two episodes of the season, which has already wrapped production.

The Irrational has aired seven episodes of its first season and has four more to air starting Monday, January 29 at 10 p.m. These episodes are currently back in production.

Both series have performed well for both NBC and Peacock. Found became NBC's best launch on the streamer to date with the premiere episodes drawing 10.5 million viewers in its first week across all platforms, while the premiere of The Irrational drew 12.1 million viewers in its first 15 days across all NBCU Platforms.

Found follows public relations specialist Gabi Mosely, played by Shanola Hampton, who was once one of the more than 300,000 missing people of color in the US, and her crisis management team, who now ensure that there is always someone on the lookout for the forgotten missing people. But no one knows that this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi also star.

It comes from showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, who is producing alongside Sonay Hoffman, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman and Lindsay Dunn. Berlanti Productions and Rock My Soul Productions are producing in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.

The Irrational

The Irrational follows world-renowned behavioral science professor Alec Mercer, played by Jesse L. Martin, as he lends his unique expertise to a series of high-stakes cases involving governments, law enforcement, and corporations. His insight and unconventional approach to understanding human behavior leads him and the team on a series of intense, unexpected journeys to solve illogical puzzles and baffling mysteries.

The cast also includes Maahra Hill, Travina Springer, Molly Kunz and Arash DeMaxi.

Arika Lisanne Mittman is the showrunner and produces with Mark Goffman, Sam Baum and David Frankel. The series is based on the book Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely and is produced by Universal Television.

“These shows are a testament to the incredibly passionate work of our showrunners Nkechi Okoro Carroll and Arika Lisanne Mittman, both of whom have executed their visions flawlessly,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “A huge thank you to the talented cast, producers and crews for their tireless commitment and dedication, which has clearly paid off with audiences making these series must-see television on both NBC and next day on Peacock.”
