It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Brilliant Minds after two seasons. The news isn't really a surprise, as it was the network's lowest rated linear drama. The writing appeared to be on the wall when NBC pulled the medical drama from its schedule back in February, opting to air 2-hour episodes of 'The Voice' instead.

Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, the series stars Zachary Quinto as Oliver Wolf, a revolutionary neurologist who, with his team of interns, explores the last great frontier - the human mind - while dealing with their own relationships and mental health.

The show does still have six episodes remaining in its now-final run. Those will begin airing on May 27.
