Both of NBC's newest scripted offerings will be back for sophomore seasons. The Irrational, which caps their Monday lineup, and Found, which airs Tuesday nights at 10, have both been renewed for second seasons. The two series are the only new scripted originals on broadcast this fall, after WGA and SAG strikes left networks unable to film new programming. Both have performed respectably for NBC in their linear performances, and the network praised both shows' performances on Peacock. With a 0.32 average, Found is the highest-rated scripted offering on NBC this season, while The Irrational's 0.29 average put it in third among NBC's scripted slate. While Found wrapped filming pre-strike, and thus was not in contention for an episode extension, The Irrational was given a show of confidence from NBC earlier in the month when they ordered an extra episode of the series, which is always a positive sign for a show's renewal chances. Both series are correct predictions for The TV Ratings Guide.
