Has CBS killed BrainDead? Network chief Glenn Geller recently discussed the show’s status at the TCA summer press tour.
From Robert and Michelle King, the dark comedy stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a young Washington DC staffer who begins noticing something wrong with the politicians on Capitol Hill—mysterious bugs are eating their brains. The cast also includes Aaron Tveit, Tony Shalhoub, Nikki M. James, Johnny Ray Gill, Charlie Semine, and Jan Maxwell.
At the TCAs, Geller said no decision has been made yet regarding BrainDead‘s future:
For all you @BrainDeadCBS fans, don't hold your breath waiting for a pickup commitment today; they've made no decision as of yet. #TCA16

So far, the show hasn’t performed as well in the ratings as many of CBS’ other series. Seven episodes into season one, BrainDead is averaging a .46 in the 18-49 demo and 3.054 million viewers.

My husband and I really enjoyed the innovative series “Brain Dead.” It was original and funny and one of the most enjoyable network shows we’ve seen in a long time. Bring it back for a second season!
I was instantly addicted to Braindead and everyone I’ve showed it to has become an instant fan. Please bring it back! People may not be watching live but so many people stream TV nowadays. The show is intelligent and hilarious so hard to find and one of the few shows I even bother to record every week.
Please, please, please keep the series going. It is such a refreshing show on tv today. There is none like it. Love it.
Please, please give BraiinDead a second season. It’s a great, entertaining, well acted, and most importantly refreshing show. I keep telling everyone I know to watch it. Give it a little more time. Please.
I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING BRAINDEAD. IT’S DIFFERENT AND WE NEED SOME “FUNNY” IN TODAY’S POLITICS.
I love the show and cast! It is really different but I look forward to it every week. Hope we get a season two
For once we have a show that is different, quirky, smart, funny. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is captivating , an amazing lead actor. She is the next IT girl and we do not want to let her go. It took me about 3-4 episodes to truly grasp just how addictive this show is. Please renew!!!!!
Love it hope it comes back
