Fans of the Zachary Quinto-led medical drama series Brilliant Minds have been bracing for a hiatus during its on-going second season, as the NBC primetime schedule is set to be full of programming from the 2026 Winter Olympics… but those same fans have been now given new reason to worry about the future of the show, as it is now being reported that the last six episodes of the run no longer appear on the network’s upcoming schedule.
This news comes via Variety, which suggests that there may be some bad news waiting on the horizon for the cast and filmmakers behind Brilliant Minds, which debuted in fall 2024. While there was a plan in place for the series to return on the 2026 TV schedule in the immediate aftermath of the aforementioned multinational ice-and-snow–centric sporting event, those plans have apparently changed behind the scenes. While the show has traditionally aired on Monday nights in the 10 ET/PT timeslot, that space on the schedule is now going to be occupied by the singing game show The Voice: Battle of Champions.
