The BrainDead TV show has been cancelled after its first season on CBS. Deadline reports the summer series’ cancellation is due to low ratings. No surprise, there.
A comedic political thriller, the BrainDead cast includes: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Danny Pino, Aaron Tveit, Tony Shalhoub, Nikki M. James, Johnny Ray Gill, Charlie Semine, and Jan Maxwell.
Created by The Good Wife‘s Robert and Michelle King, BrainDead is set in the world of Washington, DC politics. Fresh-faced, Laurel Healy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has returned home to Washington, DC to work for her brother, Senator Luke Healy (Danny Pino) on Capitol Hill.

Kathi,
It was better than many of the truly “brain dead” programs plaguing TV these days. It had a plot, was clever, engaged in current politics with humor and was creatively written. Sorry to see it was axed, few things are worth watching.
I loved it and was looking forward to Season 2 – so sad to see it cancelled. It was very entertaining, in a quirky, creative sort of way.
We laughed so hard we cried. That was the best written, best acted, freshest take on a potential explanation of the absurd world of DC politics Ever. The only problem was not enough people knew about it in time to establish good ratings – you should have at least given it two seasons. We are very upset you axed such a gem. So sad.
Loved this show. Of course it was cancelled. Every show I love gets cancelled.
One of the newest quirky show that is so refreshing!! Keep it, season 2 a must!!
It was original and super funny. Worst is they never wrap up a show before they cancel There are so many lame and jackass
shows that appear yr after yr but when they get something witty they take it off the air without any notice. Nothing but
disrespect for the viewer
We love Brain dead”!!!!!! Please reshow season 1 & produce season 3,4,5,6………….
