A new update forThe Irrationalseason 2 confirms the debut of another Mercer family member in the crime drama’s upcoming episodes. Thecast ofThe Irrationalconsists of multiple members of Alec’s (Lesse L. Martin) family. This includes his younger sister Kylie (Travina Springer), as well as his FBI agent ex-wife Marisa Clark (Maahra Hill). These family dynamics often come into play when Alec assists law enforcement with some of their cases, using his knowledge in behavioral psychology to deduce specific details about a case.
Now,TVLinehas confirmed thatRon Canada will be joining the cast ofThe Irrationalseason 2 as Alec and Kylie’s father. His debut episode is currently expected to air on June 18, 2025. However, season 2 of the crime drama begins on Tuesday, October 8, meaning it will be quite some time into the season before he gets introduced. Even so, his inclusion will broaden the Mercer family and the number of people involved in the core protagonist’s life.
Ron Canada is best known for his roles as Flex’s father Richard inOne on Oneand LAPD Chief Tom Bankston onThe Shield.
What Ron Canada’s Role In The Irrational Means For Season 2
There Might Be A Bigger Focus On The Mercer Family
Alec and Kylie’s father was mentioned very briefly in the show, with the main character quickly mentioning he lives in Norfolk, Virginia. The fact his presence cropped up so casually means he may still be part of his children’s lives, with a potential visit not out of the ordinary. AlthoughThe Irrationalseason 2needs to resolve its big cliffhanger after Rose (Karen David) was kidnapped by three men, it’s clear the series has plenty of ideas plotted out for the rest of its episodes beyond its harrowing expectations.

Whilethere’s no real way of knowing how Canada’s character will factor intoThe Irrational’s story in season 2, his location in Norfolk could mean one of Alec’s cases takes him to the city. This would provide a change of pace for the series, especially since the episode is expected to happen much later into the season. Perhaps the Mercer siblings' father can provide moments of levity between their busy lives, either as a guest, or with the intention to stick around for a little longer than expected.
