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?
CBS PLEASE BRING BACK THIS SHOW!!!!! Look at all the comment people like this show.
I like watching this show on Sunday. Season two was great! PLEASE BRING IT BACK…..
I’m very upset this show was cancelled. I love this show they make a great team. Please consider a season 3
Great show shame but must say I think his LGBT relationship was a little to much with the kissing. I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST LGBT/GAY RELATIONS but I think it hurt the ratings just my opinion but I do hope some other station saves the show.
Loved the show, another one with a great camaraderie between the characters like NCIS. CBS has had a number of great shows you start and drop or move to All Access to die a long slow death of production delays, as we wait years for new episodes. CBS is hardly worth watching anymore.
Great show, CBS screwed up again!
I am so disappointed that this show is being canceled! I really enjoyed watching this show . Please think about keeping this show on !
I am so, so, so, disappointed to hear this news. I loved the acting and the storyline of this show!
I’m very disappointed the TV show has been cancelled after such a short run. I think it’s unfair to gauge audience perception of a show based on a summer viewing season. It should have been given a third season in the fall. The show was well written, well acted, funny, charming and intelligent. Its characters were engaging and I will miss them. I hope somebody out there will recognize the shows potential and pick it up for a 3rd season.
Please reconsider! Well acted and superb writing.
Loved Instinct! Well written and well acted. Please reconsider.
My wife and \i loved this show and it sucks that it’s ending. Hope they reconsider or maybe amazon or netflix will pick it up.
No no no! Please rethink!
I love this show. I can’t believe they would cancel this show. The way it ended leaves so many roads to take. Please reconsider.
My husband and I LOVED “Instinct” and we are very disappointed that it won’t be renewed. RECONSIDER!
What Bojana said. Only double. This was a great show. Probably too good for tv.
Instinct was my favorite summer show. I would definitely have watched a third season.
DEFINITELY want this show to continue forever!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!
