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.
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the BrainDead TV series? Do you think BrainDead should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS? Sound off in the comments.
Loved the show…would love to see a second and third season…i mean…the white house is already a circus!…new material by the second!
We love Braindead. Please bring it back
I loved Braindead. It was unafraid to mock our politicial system, along with great stereotyped characters, alien ants and heroes. I join all the rest here: BRING BACK BRAINDEAD. It was truly one of the liveliest & goofily-creative shows in many years.
My husband and I thought this was a new, fun show! We also thought it was clever and are sad that it isn’t coming back!
Loved that clever show, I don’t care for violent or creepy. But this was a terribly clever show. Very sad that it didn’t come back.
Loved this show! Had it on our DVR so didn’t get to it until recently. Bummed it has been cancelled.
Great show. No season 2? Seriously! This was the best fun in a while. Well written, great humour and that little bit of unpredictability (GoT esq?)
“We shall not be moved…until we get season 2”
Best show of this past summer. Great political satire. Hope another network picks up
Great show, well written, well acted, great political satire. No wonder it was cancelled. Decision makers fit definition of shows title. Hope some network with vision revives it.
Great show well written very entertaining political satire. Guess that’s why it wasn’t renewed. Congratulations to the brain dead boneheads who made this decision. Bring on more drivel and unreal realty shows.
I was just thinking about the show this morning and really enjoyed the show, Brain Dead. I want to congratulate the writers, for giving us a well written, clever and very quirky, tv show. I especially loved the si-fi twist. It would be nice to see this show, back on the air.
Noooooo I love this show please make another season!!!
My husband and I were addicted to this show! Absolutely one of our favorite new shows of last year! You must bring it back! I’m astounded that it got such low ratings! The cast is hilarious!
COMPLETELY Bummed CBS cancelled BrainDead. I was hooked on it & was waiting for it to come back in 2017. PLEASE, PLEASE bring it back. I want to see how the “bugs” do vs the Humans!!!
I also LOVED this show.It was an exciting, funny, scary, and intelligent thriller. I loved the actors as well and am SO BUMMED that it has been cancelled.
I loved this show! So sad to hear it is cancelled. It seems like the wrong shows often get renewed while the good die too young.
