As THE IRRATIONAL wraps up its first season on Monday, February 19, the NBC drama has had an unconventional freshman year.
The Jesse L. Martin-led series was one of the few to air original episodes in Fall 2023, having banked seven episodes before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes shut down production for months. The show aired its series premiere the day after the WGA strike ended—but they still had to wait for the actors’ strike to end in order to finish production. Then, a little over a week after the SAG-AFTRA strike concluded, it was announced that NBC had actually added an additional installment to season 1, bringing the episode count to 11. (The good news? The show also got an early season 2 renewal.)
But adding an extra episode to a show with a planned mythology/arc came with its own complications.
