It will soon be “case closed” permanently for the Instinct TV show on CBS. The network has cancelled the Sunday night series so there won’t be a third season for Reinart and Needham.
A crime thriller, based on the James Patterson novel, Murder Games, Instinct stars Alan Cumming, Bojana Novakovic, Daniel Ings, Naveen Andrews, and Sharon Leal. The drama centers on Dr. Dylan Reinhart (Cumming), a former CIA operative who is lured out of his peaceful retirement as a university professor and author, to help NYPD detective Lizzie Needham (Novakovic) catch a serial killer. Dylan’s old CIA colleague, Julian Cousins (Andrews), lends a hand, along with Lizzie’s C.O., Lt. Jasmine Gooden (Leal). Season two kicked off with Dylan reinstated as NYPD consultant, where he can both impress and irritate Lizzie. Meanwhile, Dylan’s husband, Andy (Ings), pursues adoption as a way for the couple to finally become parents.
Airing on Sunday nights, the second season of Instinct is currently averaging a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.39 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 50% and 49%, respectively. Instinct is nearly the lowest-rated TV shows of the summer CBS TV shows.
A pair of Instinct episodes will air tomorrow night on CBS and the series finale will run next Sunday, August 25th.
Series creator Michael Rauch revealed the show’s cancellation and Cumming and Novak shared their thoughts.
WELL THIS SUCKS BALLS. But when one door closes another… actually fuck that. This sucks balls. Love to all our fans and the most incredible cast and crew. Thank you all for an incredible two years. @Michael_Rauch @Alancumming @CBSTweet @CBSTVStudios @TVdub https://t.co/80QDAJvbTy

What do you think? Did you enjoy the Instinct TV show on CBS? Would you have watched a third season of this series?
I am so unhappy that this show has been cancelled. It’s been one of my favorite shows since the beginning.
I am sorry it was canceled. It was extremely well done and I truly enjoyed the show.
I loved the show.
Me too!
I adored the premise. Yes, I would’ve watched a season 3, 4, 5… Seems every intelligent program gets cancelled, yet gore, ignorant and car-chasing shows run on and on. Sad commentary of our viewing public.
Loved this show and will miss it Greatly! Please reconsider! Does it always ha e to be about ratings?
Me too!
This is insane.This show must be renewed. The actors are great and the plot lines are very interesting. Take off all the garbage reality shows and leave this show on. I’m fed up with the stupid decisions that management makes.Wake up! and bring back “Instinct”
How can shows like the bachelor get renewed year after year and show like instinct gets canceled. SMDH
I would have watched a third season
I’m really sad to see this show end. I love Instinct. I would have loved to have seen a season three. I wish low rating didn’t aautomatically mean cancellation. This sucks
I’m really disappointed that the show is being cancelled. It is one of my favorite shows and I will really miss it. I won’t be watching t. V. on Sunday nights anymore.
I totally enjoyed the show, but one person cannot turn around the ratings.
There are many of us that are disappointed.
Another one of my shows cancelled yet we still have these bachelor shows on
I loved the show. I don’t watch much on CBS because they play to a younger audience. Instinct was tastefully an fine example of an alternate lifestyle without being in your face with it. I guess I’ll go back to watching other channels on Sunday night. I loved the detective procedurals. I definitely would have watched another season. You lose this viewer.
I enjoyed Season 1 and so looked forward to Season 2 of Instincts and have enjoyed each episode. I will miss this show.
I thoroughly enjoyed instinct and was very happy when I came back this summer. I will miss it very much, and especially miss seeing Alan CumingEach week.
