NBC has pulled the plug on several fan-favorite shows — including a Law and Order spinoff and several shows.
The network first shocked audiences in May 2025 when it pulled the plug Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, Irrational again Compatible with LA. NBC was later renewed Hunting Party again Wise Mindsbut those were the only young people's shows that survived – with Grosse Pointe Garden Society not surviving after being on the bubble.

Bryan Goluboff he became a producer for season 3 but left after three months. He was replaced Sean Jablonski, they left because of “creative differences” again David Graziano took over in the final episodes of the season.
