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?
Please, please, please let Instinct continue, our whole household LOVES it!!!
Both my husband and my self would love to watch several more seasons of Instinct…
So very sorry to see Instinct was cancelled. Great actors, great plot! Why does such a wonderful show disappear, but nonsense such as Big Brother stays on???
CBS started a plot with the death of the mi6 lady and “Pasternak”. Now the show is canceled ? CBS is not just fake news they are disgusting slugs. Obviously they look at fabricated surveys rather than talking to actual viewers.
While trying to watch the third episode of ‘Instinct” (that I had recorded) we got a message on our screen saying that we no longer had access to CBS unless we subscribed to it. I never pursued why. Today, I found “Instinct” season finale had been recorded.Now we are getting CBS again. Maybe ratings were down because this happened to other people too????
Noooo!!! We want More!!! Instinct is a Brillant Show!!! We need to Fight….I hope CBS will bring it back, another network? We as Fans Have a Voice….This is a Great Show!! If there is a Fight to Save it…I’m In
Love the show but knew it wouldn’t work when too much emphasis was put on their personal lives. I would watch Cumming in anything. He is fantastic in anything he does. Again, a good show cancelled.
Very very sorry to learn Instinct has been cancelled. It was a great series. Really really sorry.
Very disappointed Instinct has been cancelled!! Huge mistake….. finally a really good detective series & now gone. Too bad.
Very disappointed
instinct has been cancelled!!!! Too too bad! Finally a good detective series & now cancelled….. huge mistake. Very disappointed ☹️
I believe Ms. Novakovic put it best…. This sucks balls for real! I thought this show was so much better than a whole bunch of the bullpucky they keep on TV like “The B******r/B******ette” I mean come on….EEWWW.
This show wasn’t reality but it was a great escape on Sunday night. I looked forward to it every week. Now they have these two new shows that frankly look super BASIC (if you get me). Anyway, I would absolutely love it if another network would pick it up. Wouldn’t that be sweet?!
Oh yes please for season 3 of Instinct.
I am so sorry to hear that’s Instinct was canceled. It was a great show. I couldn’t wait for season 2 and was looking forward to season 3. Now there will be no season 3. It is too bad that CBS couldn’t have produced a few more episodes and tied up the loose ends. I will really miss the program!
My husband and I just got into the show; finding out that it’s going to be cancelled is so disappointing. However, the stupid mindless shows just seem to continue with no experation date.
That figures.!!..All the good shows always get cancelled, while stupid irritating fake reality shows go on and on!!
