NBC<\/a> is sharing the tune-in information and series finale dates for its scripted series for the 2025-2026 broadcast season. NBC promises big thrills, action-packed moments, and possibly a cliffhanger or two.<\/p>\n

Of course, with its recent cancellation, this is the series finale date for Brilliant Minds, and the verdict is still out on The Hunting Party, so May 7 could be its series finale rather than a season finale.<\/p>\n
