NBC is making some early renewals.
The network has renewed both of its first-year drama series, Found and The Irrational for second seasons.
The fact that both shows had episodes filmed prior to the start of the broadcast season was a boon for NBC, allowing it to air new scripted series as many of its rivals pivoted to reality series and licensed programming as a result of the dual strikes.

Found has currently aired nine episodes with two more to air before the end of the year. It will return on January 9 for its final two episodes of the season and has already finished production on those.
Both series have performed well for NBC as well as Peacock; Found became NBC’s top launch on the streamer to date with its premiere episodes drawing 10.5M viewers across platforms in its first week, while The Irrational’s premiere tallied 12.1M viewers across all NBCU platforms in its first 15 days.
Found follows public relations specialist Gabi Mosely, played by Shanola Hampton, who was once herself one of the more than 300,000 missing people of color in the U,S, and her crisis management team, who now make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi also star.
