NBC has officially canceled the medical drama 'Brilliant Minds' after two seasons and the mockumentary comedy 'Stumble' after one season, as confirmed by Variety. 'Brilliant Minds', which aired from September 2024 to January 2025, is based on Oliver Sacks' books and stars Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf, who investigates medical mysteries at Bronx General. Despite a promising start, viewership declined, leading to the show's cancellation, although the remaining six episodes will air starting May 27. Meanwhile, 'Stumble', which debuted in November and concluded in March, featured Jenn Lyon as a cheerleading coach aiming to rebuild her career at a junior college in Oklahoma. Despite positive critical reception, it could not secure a strong enough audience. Following these cancellations, NBC is considering several new pilots for the 2026-2027 broadcast season, including a reboot of 'The Rockford Files' starring David Boreanaz.
