Is The Irrational New Tonight? (December 31, 2024)
It's never a dull work day for behavioral science expert Mercer on NBC's The Irrational.
Between all of the mind-boggling twists and turns, Season 2 of The Irrational has been a whirlwind watch, with weekly watchers patiently waiting for the return of new episodes.
It's been a white-knuckled countdown as Dr. Alec Mercer (played by Tony-winner Jesse L. Martin), with the help of his brilliant team, attempts to crack whatever befuddling case comes their way next. There isn't a nut out there Mercer can't crack, so whether it's a government conspiracy or some mystifying missing persons case, Mercer's team always starts at the top: the motive.
"We are so lucky and privileged to have Jesse Martin playing the role of Alec," showrunner Arika Lisanne Mittman told NBC Insider. "When I first wrote this character, there was a character I wrote on paper and there's what Jesse brought to it and those two things put together have just created magic and I'm so grateful to have him. He's wonderful to work with. He's really a gift to all of us."

"There are so many possibilities when it comes to just concentrating on how we think and how we behave," Martin told Collider. "Mental health is a big topic on everybody's platforms these days, and our show explores it, certainly in a scripted context, but in so many different ways with so many different people. The more interesting actors we get in, the more that behavior surfaces... There are so many places to get creative. There are so many stories that can get told when you're just talking about behavior, in general."
