This season, there are several new TV shows that are based on feature films. Historically, most have done poorly in the ratings and have been cancelled after one season. Will Limitless be one of the lucky ones and be renewed for a second season by CBS? Stay tuned.
On Limitless, deadbeat Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) is given the NZT-48 drug and it unlocks 100% of his brain. Brian has complete recall of whatever he’s learned at any point in his life, either consciously or subconsciously. The FBI want to use him to help solve crimes but they’re not the only ones interested in Brian and the drug. The rest of the cast includes Jennifer Carpenter, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Hill Harper, and Colin Salmon.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/23 update: CBS has given this series a full season order.
4/27 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Limitless TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love the show! Bring it back and maybe a better time slot. This show has the potential for a great following in prime time.
I love the show Limitless and I really hope it is picked up for another season. I think it would be tragic if this show ended without its fans knowing the outcome of Brian’s future with the FBI, whether or not he saves Piper, and if Senator Morra actually becomes president. I would greatly appreciate a response as to the plans for the show whether it is decided it will be renewed or not.
I really hope this show stays on, it’s the best thing on tv! Funny and creative
Would hope they renew Limitless. Great show
Keep it, it’s my favorite!!
Please RENEW this series and keep it going!!! This show has the ability to go on for years. Hands down the best show on TV right now. I could even see it being a Simpsons or Married with Children competitor for staying power. RENEW!!
Good show. Keep the NZT and Brian coming back.
Please renew this show it’s my wife and my favorite show we watch it on D.V.R every week.
I do not watch many TV shows, but I absolutely love Limitless. Great characters, and I love how the network tied in characters from the movie. This is the highlight of my week and I will be pretty disappointed if they don’t bring back the character Brian Finch or the show. Keep it going!
My husband and I love limitless.. our demographic age is 48 and 50. We anxiously await each episode. We look forward to season 2…
Limitless is one of my favorite shows!!!! Please keep it going!!! It is a great show! The acting is great and it is refreshing that it doesn’t have the level of violence that other shows have. Please keep going!!! To show you how much we like it, we’ve never posted anything like this for any show before. Thanks for the opportunity.
Please renew. I love all different kinds of crime shows do I decided to try this one. It’s got a different spin but I love it. Give people more time to learn about. More advertisement.
Terrific, unique premise – with or without Bradley cooper. Please renew
Please keep Limitless on for another season!
Great show! Love the concept of using 100% of your brain. Please renew it!
