There is some terrible news as we start off this post. The Irrational season 2 is on a break.
The Irrational season 2, episode 7 was the last episode of 2024. The show is now on its winter break, and that means we have to wait until next year for new episodes.
Why is The Irrational on a break?
This break is completely normal. Shows take the winter period off for a couple of reasons. One of the biggest is to make sure the cast and crew can take that time off from filming. There will be a few episodes in the can ready for a return in January, but then the show will ned to get ahead in filming again.
Another reason is because the linear ratings start to dip this time of the year. People spend time with family and they want to watch holiday-themed movies together. Some will head out for Christmas parties and holiday events in their local area. It means fewer people in the house watching TV, and this affects the linear ratings. It puts shows at risk of being canceled because it looks like people aren’t watching them.
When will The Irrational season 2 return in 2025?
The good news is that this break isn’t all that long. It’s a little more than a month.
The Irrational season 2 returns on Tuesday, Jan. 7. It will continue to air at 10 p.m. ET/PT, wrapping up Tuesday nights. This is a tricky timeslot, though. We are a little worried about the future of the show based on the linear ratings because of the timeslot.
There is a promo for the new episode, but it doesn’t give too much away. The episode is titled “Ghost Ship,” but we don’t get many details on the case for Alec to help Marisa to solve. Rose is back, though, and hopefully she stops trying to find reasons to break up with Alec. There is a body in the woods, and how that’s connected to the title of the series is unknown.
Check out the promo for The Irrational season 2, episode 8:
The Irrational returns on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 10/9c on NBC. Catch up on the series on Peacock.
