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.

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………….
I loved Brain Dead! It was clever and a great way to laugh at our dysfunction government. I was looking forward to season 2. Guess it was a bit too truthful for the overlords.
What are they thinking? Best show in years. I was excited for season 2 and now it’s cancelled. Bad move folks.
I have been eagerly awaiting for Season 2 of Brain Dead to return and relieve the boredom of Summer TV. I just read that it has been canceled and I’m really bummed. This was a show that poked fun at Washington in a clever, non-threatening way that was pure entertainment. I hope another network picks-up this show because I think it needs another season to catch on.
The best reality show about DC since The West Wing(Altho I really like Madame Secretary, too) …BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK!….
I absolutely loved the wit and comedy of the show, not to mention the great performances! I finally found a series with wit and true comedy sense. Would love to see it back! It needs another chance!! Most people had never heard of it and think they would love it too!
Loved this show!!!!!! Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!! We shall not be moved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this show! I guess CBS is too afraid to fight against the new Presidential Administration. There are a lot of really stupid shows that just keep coming back. But the really thought provoking ones just go away without any chance to recover the ratings. Come on CBS let’s keep this one around for a while!
I loved Braindead was really looking forward to a second season. Sad!
