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?
My husband and I looked forward to every episode!! We will surely miss it!
Love this show! Sorry to hear it was cancelled.
I love this show. I don’t understand the cancellation. Maybe you could have shown it during the regular season.
I l9ve this show and looked forward to warching it. Cannot believe they cancelled another good show
Love this show. Hope CBS will reconsider dropping Instinct.
There is so much unwatchable on network, cable and the multitudes of streaming services. I love Alan Cumming. Wish I’d been able to see his MC. But CBS would rather be in bed with the armed forces than present something elegant and fun. Oh well. Sad for me. And who in 18-49 can afford new cars and such. Network thinking is stuck in the past and CBS should be chasing the demographic that watches it.
MY COMMENTS WITH ALL ESPECIALLY MARCIE – DIMWITS FOR CANCELLING INSTINCT !!!!!
I seriously cannot believe another outstanding show has been cancelled! You keep trash like the Bachelor, Bachelorette, BIP on and, for what, ratings? No one that likes those shows REALLY likes them. It’s just another stupid thing to gossip about around the water cooler. You folks need to get your acts together!
I so totally agree all this reality **** needs to come off the air and put the real shows back on who cares who the dumb blonde is going to marry
I loved this show and would have definitely watched a third season. Please don’t cancel the series.
I really wanted to see them adopt a baby.
So disappointed! I really enjoyed this show!
Why do they always cancel shows I enjoy?
I loved Instinct, one of my favorite summer times shows. So sad to see it go.
I’m really sorry and disappointed that Instinct has been cancelled. It’s one of the few newer shows that I’ve gotten hooked on.
Why do you keep cancelling fabulous programs. I love Instinct and its entire cast. Alan Cummings is always amazing. Please reconsider this cancellation.
Why are all the good shows getting canceled and the ones that actually suck stay on TV. I really liked the show and would have watched season 3.
