No Season 3 for the procedural drama.
August 17, 2019
Some sad news for Instinct fans this morning, as word is out that CBS has cancelled the procedural drama after two seasons. Series creator Michael Rauch took to Twitter to make the announcement, which comes with three episodes remaining in the show's run.
The hour-long series premiered last year as a mid-season entry. Airing Sunday nights, the show struggled in the ratings amid tough competition. CBS even briefly pulled it from the schedule, prompting a cancellation scare, but ended up issuing a renewal instead. The show returned this June for a summer sophomore run, but viewership this time around has tapered off substantially.
Instinct stars Alan Cumming and Bojana Novakovic in her first TV lead role. Cumming plays Dr. Dylan Reinhart, a former CIA operative who teams up with Novakovic's detective Lizzie Needham after his first book is used by a serial killer to commit his crimes. Though Dylan and Lizzie initially butt heads, they soon realize that they make a great team if they learn to trust their instincts.
Three episodes remain in Instinct's run. Back-to-back episodes are scheduled to air this Sunday, with the series finale set for Sunday, August 25.
I’m very sad to relay the news that @instinctcbs won’t be renewed for a 3rd season. We will double up this Sunday and our season/series finale will be Aug 25. Endless thanks to @Alancumming & @bojnovak for making Dylan & Lizzie more everything than I could have ever hoped 1/2 pic.twitter.com/yyhyfOAIeJ

Shame on you CBS that youc would take this show off the air. Instead they have reality shows and violent shows and movies. Then wonder what's happening to this world.

Here’s the thing. If people actually have to use a thought process or actually pay attention to the show then it’s going to be cancelled and another stupid reality show put in its place.

I'm echoing several of the comments already made, but why does CBS cancel everything that is good and decent to watch, and keep on garbage (Love Island got renewed????). Either a sad statement on what people want to watch anymore, or CBS not caring if they carry premium shows. Three generations in my family watched this and enjoyed it - sad to see it end.
