NBC has announced renewals for two of its newest drama series, The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, for second seasons.

The news comes just a few days after several cancellations were announced by the network, including Found, The Irrational, and Suits LA. Meanwhile, all three One Chicago franchise series have also been renewed, along with both Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU.
