It’s official. Deadline reports CBS has confirmed the cancellation of their freshman series Limitless.
Based on the 2011 film, the series starred Jake McDorman, Jennifer Carpenter, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Hill Harper, and Colin Salmon.
Last week, we reported the drama was cancelled after CBS didn’t include it in their 2016-2017 programming lineup. Then, network chief Glenn Geller said the series was being shopped to other networks, but it looks as if plans failed to develop.
Ratings for the show’s first season were decent but low when compared to CBS’ other primetime series. Season one averaged a 1.34 in the 18-49 demo, with a total of 7.049 million viewers.
Showrunner Craig Sweeny confirmed the news on Twitter:
I'm truly sad to report that #Limitless will not continue on any platform. Thanks so much to everyone who watched.

What do you think? Did you watch Limitless? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?

OMG no all the good shows are getting cancelled. Grrrr
Please, Please bring it back!! This is such a great show! Intelligent TV compared to all the waste of time sitcoms trending right now! Funny and exciting! I’ve watched the season twice. My kids love it also.
Noooooo!!! This is one of few good show that was on. PLEASE bring it back T_T
Yes I watched the show! EVERY EPISODE! Boo, hiss, CBS for cancelling this show
Nooooooooooo! I loved this show! I want Brian Finch!
All I have to say is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgGxjUl3Cxw
Jeez! I really liked this show! It’s mind-blowing that such a good show like this gets cancelled and so much other junk stays on TV. You suck CBS!!
Such a good show. Interesting storyline, good acting, likeable/believable characters with more than 2 dimensions, just a really fun show. It was on kind of late but we recorded the entire season and looked forward to watching every episode. Each episode was better than the one before it as characters were developed and the plot became more complicated. Is it really cancelled?!? Who makes these decisions! Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Please bring this show back! It’s so creative. I’ve loved every episode and smart drugs called nootropics is an area of growing interest and research
I think I´ll never watch any serie from BBC and CBS again. First Forever and now Limitless. Two of my favorite… Now it´s HBO series for me.
Loved this show…well written, funny…the Ferris Bueller episode was classic…watched it twice!!! Can’t believe other shows were renewed and this was cancelled….bad decision…
This is totally absurd. Why do the good series always get taken off air. Just keep it going and people will start to watch after some more advertising. UGHHHHH
Unbelievable. This is the most innovative, thought provoking and fun show to come out of the US for years. Why oh why would this be cancelled when it had the makings of something really different
I knew it. It’s Forever all over again. Why do the good/different procedurals die while SUV and its ilk go on and on and on….?
