Bob Hearts Abishola Ending After This Season; NBC Renews Rookie Dramas

CBS announced that the critically acclaimed comedy series Bob ♥ Abishola will air its series finale on Monday, May 13 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. The series will sign off after the upcoming fifth season on the Network. As previously announced, the fifth season will premiere on Monday, Feb. 12 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

Bob ♥ Abishola is a love story about Bob (Billy Gardell), a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly fell for his cardiac nurse, Abishola (Folake Olowofoyeku), a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack, and set his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola's lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob was determined to win her heart, and eventually married her, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America. The series stars Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku. Chuck Lorre, Al Higgins, Gina Yashere and Matt Ross serve as executive producers. Bob ♥ Abishola is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Bob ♥ Abishola airs Mondays (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streams live and on demand on Paramount+.

Found

NBC has renewed both of its first-year drama series, Found and The Irrational. Found airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC and next day on Peacock. Following its Dec. 12 telecast, the series will return Jan. 9 for the final two episodes of the season. The Irrational will resume with the final four episodes of its first season beginning Monday, Jan. 29 at 10 p.m. on NBC and next day on Peacock. In Found, in any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. More than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about. Public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (series star and producer Shanola Hampton) - who was once herself one of those forgotten ones - and her crisis management team now make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own. The cast includes Shanola Hampton, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi.

The Irrational

The Irrational follows world-renowned professor of behavioral science Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) as he lends his unique expertise on an array of high-stakes cases involving governments, law enforcement and corporations. His insight and unconventional approach to understanding human behavior lead him and the team on a series of intense, unexpected journeys to solve illogical puzzles and perplexing mysteries. The cast includes Jesse L. Martin, Maahra Hill, Travina Springer, Molly Kunz, and Arash DeMaxi.
