NBC Cancels Five Shows in Major Primetime Shakeup

NBC has announced the cancellation of five scripted series as part of a significant restructuring of its primetime programming lineup. The canceled shows include "Suits: LA," "Found," "The Irrational," "Night Court," and "Lopez vs. Lopez."

This programming shift comes as NBC prepares to make room for upcoming NBA broadcasts in its schedule. While these five shows face the axe, the network has confirmed renewals for several fan favorites, including the "One Chicago" franchise and the "Law & Order" series.

The cancellations mark a substantial change in NBC's programming strategy as the 2024-2025 television season approaches. Shows like "Night Court," which featured talents such as Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette, and "Lopez vs. Lopez," starring George Lopez and Mayan Lopez, will not be returning.

Additionally, cast changes are occurring in some of NBC's continuing series, with Daniel Kyri and Jake Lockett reportedly departing from "Chicago Fire."

The network's decision reflects broader shifts in television programming priorities as traditional broadcasters adapt to changing viewer habits and new content distribution strategies.
