Instinct will not return for a third season CBS.

The network has axed the low-rated procedural drama after just two seasons.

Series creator Michael Rauch took to Twitter to reveal the sad news on Saturday.

In doing so, he also revealed that two episodes will be airing tonight and that the series finale would air Sunday, August 25.

This caused much confusion amongst fans because many thought that the show had produced 13 episodes for Instinct Season 2.

However, it has since been revealed that there were only 11 made for the second -- and now final season.

"I’m very sad to relay the news that @instinctcbs won’t be renewed for a 3rd season," Rauch shared on Twitter.

"We will double up this Sunday and our season/series finale will be Aug 25."

"Endless thanks to @Alancumming & @bojnovak for making Dylan & Lizzie more everything than I...

And then there were none. CBS has opted not to pick up drama series Instinct starring Alan Cumming for a third season.

The network in May postponed a renewal decision on four midseason drama series, which were either still airing or yet to premiere — sophomore Instinct, freshmen The Code and The Red Line, and third-year Canadian import Ransom. The Red Line, The Code and Ransom have since been canceled. They are now being joined by Instinct.

Instinct creator/executive producer Michael Rauch announced the cancellation on Twitter, revealing that the series will be double pumped this Sunday and will air its Season 2 series finale next Sunday, Aug. 25.

“I’m very sad to relay the news that @instinctcbs won’t be renewed for a 3rd season,” Rauch wrote. “Thanks to our incredible crew, cast, writers, producers & all who helped make our show, with respect, talent & kindness. And a giant thank you...

A fourth candidate for the Writers Guild of America West’s board has dropped out of the race in order to support the guild’s hardline stance on Hollywood agents.

Joshua Hale Fialkov made the announcement Friday, three days after Rob Forman, Ed Herro and Chris Roessner all announced they had withdrawn from the contest for the same reason. The four dropouts mean that there are now 17 candidates for eight open board seats in a contest that’s viewed as a referendum on the WGA’s hard-nosed approach. Election results will be announced on Sept. 16.

Craig Mazin dropped out of the election last week as a vice presidential candidate due to concerns over a family member’s health. Mazin was a running mate with Phyllis Nagy, who is challenging WGA West president David Goodman on a platform that the WGA needs to get back to the bargaining table after six weeks of staying away.

And that's a wrap.

The Code, which just concluded its freshman season on CBS, has been canceled.

The midseason hiatus should have been a clue, but darn it, we enjoyed that!

The Code was a unique take on the military and the law, offering fans of both genres something to dig into.

It followed some of the greatest military's brightest legal minds while they practiced law and also highlighted their personal lives.

The marines were trained to fight on all sides of the law -- as investigators, prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Dana Delaney took to Twitter this afternoon to share her farewell.

Thank you to all you wonderful people who watched @TheCodeCBS. Last night was our finale and sadly, no more. I’ll never make General. But I loved this cast of stellar actors & know we’ll meet again. Semper Fidelis.

CBS has canceled military drama “The Code” after one season.

Star Dana Delany tweeted the news out on Tuesday, writing: “Thank you to all you wonderful people who watched @TheCodeCBS. Last night was our finale and sadly, no more. I’ll never make General. But I loved this cast of stellar actors & know we’ll meet again. Semper Fidelis.”

Monday night’s episode will now serve as its series finale. It drew a 0.3 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demo and had 2.9 million total viewers.

There will be no second season for The Code. CBS has opted not to renew the military drama series from CBS TV Studios and Timberman-Beverly after a modestly rated first season that wrapped last night. Star Dana Delany revealed the series’ fate on Twitter. (You can read her message to fans below.)

CBS in May left undecided the fates of four drama series that premiered in midseason: sophomore Instinct, freshmen The Code and The Red Line and third-year Canadian import Ransom. All but Instinct have now been canceled.

In The Code, written by Limitless creator Craig Sweeny from a story by him and Craig Turk and directed by Marc Webb, the military’s brightest minds take on our country’s toughest challenges – inside the courtroom and out – where each attorney is trained as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer, an investigator, and a Marine.

Freshman military drama “The Code” is officially done at CBS. The news comes just one day after the show’s season finale, which will now serve as the show’s series finale.

The series followed soldiers who tackle the toughest legal challenges facing the U.S. Marine Corps. As prosecutors, defense lawyers, and investigators, these Marines work together to serve their country while operating out of Judge Advocate General Headquarters in Quantico.

In addition to Delany, the series also starred Luke Mitchell, Anna Wood, Ato Essandoh, Phillipa Soo, and Raffi Barsoumian.

ABC’s special The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All won Monday in primetime, pushing the network to the top spot in the ratings and viewers for the night. The special, on which contestants spill the beans about what happened on the show (behind the scenes and in front of the camera), hit its best numbers since 2015 with a 1.7 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 6.59 million viewers.

Following the two-hour The Bachelorette, ABC’s drama Grand Hotel continued to waver from week to week since its premiere, last night slipping a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, a two-hour American Ninja Warrior dropped a tenth from last week, as did Dateline at 10 Pm though the latter won its time slot in both metrics.

As for other originals, romance wasn’t in the air for CBS’ Love Island, which fell back a tenth, while The Code held steady in the demo with its season finale. Fox’s music game show Beat Shazam also held its steady note, while So You Think You Can Dance had a tiny misstep from last week

The CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us slipped a tenth while the network’s improv game show Whose Line Is It Anyway? went up to a 0.3 rating and 940,000 viewers.
