NBC's Brilliant Minds has topped a TVLine reader poll as the yet-to-be-renewed broadcast series fans most want to return, with over 12% of more than 40,000 votes. This comes as the show prepares to wrap its second season following its announced May resumption. Law & Order: SVU placed second with 10%.
In a TVLine poll that closed April 2, readers selected up to five broadcast shows awaiting renewal amid spring cancellations, casting over 40,000 votes. NBC's sophomore medical drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, led with more than 12% support—despite no Season 3 renewal announcement and its recent schedule hiatus for the Winter Olympics (with final Season 2 episodes resuming May 27, as previously reported).
NBC's Law & Order: SVU finished second at 10%, while the Law & Order revival placed sixth. ABC's The Rookie and Will Trent, plus NBC's The Hunting Party, rounded out the top five. The Rookie had previously won TVLine's poll outright in 2019.
At the bottom, Fox's Going Dutch received just 1.4% as its second season concludes. Other low performers included NBC's The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Fox's Murder in a Small Town, ABC's Shifting Gears, and NBC's Stumble. A potential cancellation for Brilliant Minds would follow the trend of Fox's Rescue: HI-Surf, last year's poll winner that was axed.
