‘Brilliant Minds’ & ‘Stumble’ Canceled By NBC, ‘Law & Order’ & ‘Hunting Party’ Remain On The Bubble

NBC has made its first cancellations for the 2026-27 season, Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, and Stumble, headlined by Jenn Lyon.

Brilliant Minds was expected. The pacing and handling of storylines was atrocious. Season 1 had potential but the show needed to tighten up. Instead they started off a with a flash forward that wasn't interesting enough to sustain a season long mystery, fumbled the 'will they won't they' to the point where it felt like they were never even building on it. None of the relationships felt like they were developing. It was a just a big bleh of a season.

Eric cringing immediately after was so real😭

[backyardflames]

His little smile at connecting and then he immediately catches himself 🥺

[backyardflames]

I need more people to watch/talk about this show

[backyardflames]

Anyone else watching Under Salt Marsh?? I picked up on the vibes immediately but I was still pleasantly surprised to be supplied with a gay (or bi) autistic (again I’m assuming but?!!) detective, just because. Feels like progress people.

I enjoy a good slow moving noir murder mystery anyway, especially one starring two absolutely lovable but total head-wreckers of characters😂

Alas every cast interaction is now going to pale in comparison to Nadine, Robbie and Francois’ night out at the Spotify Golden Globes party. Oh what’s that? They look hot? They do, but are they also getting loaded and turnt up to Kiss by Prince on the dance floor? No? Sorry, we’ve experienced heady heights and these are just some pics

Hollanov fans continuing to have meltdowns in YT reactor comments sections over reactors preferring Scott and Kip continues to be funny. Is there some sort of mental condition that means that particular cohort of fans simply can't fathom the idea of someone having a personal preference? You guys keep fighting for your lives to explain away why someone isn't into the thing you're into. Give it up already!

[backyardflames]

Guys wake up, the girls are making up concois shit on Twitter again . RPF brain is like a parasite consuming brain cells 😂

“Omg his eyes lit up!!”

Bitch his eyes be sparkling the entire time. He also soft smiled and looked away for his adorable Robbie comment (one word just wasn’t enough eh? No wink no nudge) but I’m 99.99% sure they’re not dating either😂

[backyardflames]

I can’t help get the feeling that François is hitting all the publicity stops he can to try and help secure Fucktoys a distributor which I cannot believe it is still without!!

[backyardflames]

Children on Twitter breathlessly telling anyone who will listen that Scott and Kip aren’t popular - whilst retweeting and referencing the only viral clip of the show - the one that sent its popularity into the stratosphere- which is Scott and Kips kiss. I’ll repeat that for the slow learners: the big popular viral moment of the show is of Scott and Kip. It’s because of Scott and Kip. And episode 3 is what convinced a lot of people to stick with the show so no amount of abusing Robbie and François is going to change anything. Skip are loved.

[backyardflames]

I'm going to say this one last time: people are absolutely being fucking weird and wilfully spreading nonsense about François and Connor. And people are absolutely abusing François off the back of it and the popularity of Skip. In short? Stop acting like brats entitled to everything you want to see on a tv show and being RPF weirdos because none of you are capable of keeping yourselves in check, even the ones lying to themselves that they're doing it for fun. You're not. And you know you're not. You're treating real people as dolls you want to mash together and you've purposely picked the older queer man to imply things about, whether you think they're positive or not, it doesn't absolve you. You're assuming things about a bisexual man because he's bisexual and theres a stink of homophobia about all of it. Stop treating this like normal fandom behaviour. It's not. The end.

[backyardflames]

I appreciate the casually unhinged nature of this cast 😂

[backyardflames]

Lads, the sooner you accept that some people like Scott and Kip more, the more peace you'll find. You can't argue your way into getting reactors and other fans to agree with your point of view on something like this or magically find Shane and Ilya hotter. It's genuinely starting to look like the concept of people liking different things has never occurred to Hollanov fans, like its a genuine psychotic condition. You'll be fine if people prefer Scott and Kip. You still have your show all to yourself, stop crying about it.

You don't see that every day. Pretty big night for hockey. And listen to that crowd! They're loving this! Good for him! Good for Scott Hunter!
