Overview

  • The series concluded its 13-episode first season on May 16, leaving a cliffhanger about its central murder mystery unresolved.
  • It averaged fewer than 2 million viewers in seven-day Nielsen ratings, making it NBC’s least-watched scripted series of the season.
  • After underperforming on Sundays, NBC shifted the show to Fridays at 8 p.m. in April, yielding a modest linear ratings bump and higher Peacock streaming rankings.
  • Peacock considered picking up the series when it began appearing in the platform’s daily Top 10, but projections for audience growth fell short of the streamer’s investment thresholds.
  • The cancellation is one of six NBC scripted series cuts for the 2025-26 lineup, reflecting the network’s greater emphasis on higher-rated and streaming-first content.
