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 this show! So funny and so real with a little sci-fi.
Love this show – don’t cancel it!
Please …..DO NOT cancel this show !!!I hope some other network picks this show up.
it was the best summer show, so of course it would be cancelled
i thought it was the best summer show so of course the suits decide to cancel after one short season, IDIOTS
We did not know about this show until recently…watching it on CBS All Access at S1E10. My daughter informed us that it was cancelled. I was, like WHAT? Love, love, love this show….please renew or send to another network to continue this bizarre, funny, political show!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a great keirky show that we real enjoyed watching! Really sorry to see it canceled☹️️Any way to reprieve this timely, funny show?
I think it’s the best show on TV right now you should at least do one more season to finish the story. The politics and how it relates to today’s crazy politics makes it even more enjoyable.
Loved this show – so smart! Bring it back!
This is a exceptionnal serie that clearly comes off road. I’ve found it funny, geniously sarcastic, with an interresting and new approach of our politicians work day … and full of double or triple smart attacks to our stupid standars and way of life.. It is a cool and intelligent serie, actors are just wright for their caracters, they even seem to enjoy their particularities and complexities, I can tell thay had fun doing it. I get it is different from “conventionnal series” and that’s exactly what I was waiting for. And I love Game Of Thrown, The Walking Dead,… Read more »

Sorry to hear this as I watched each week! Washington does act as if they are braindead! Winstead was great! Shalhoub as well
Great show. Very disappointed to hear it’s canceled..
Please bring it back look at all the new material u r going to have over the next 4 years
I LOVED this show! Am so disappointed to see it’s been cancelled. It was so good to see something different, yet relevant on TV. The actors were terrific, and the writing was excellent. Was so looking forward to next season. Please CBS, won’t you reconsider and put this show back on for another season?
