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?
Excellent show! The best movie based show on TV since the creation of movie based shows. Humorous, dramatic, creative, well crafted. Cancellation would be a huge error.
Hey, this is one of the very few creative light hearted shows that are on air. If any one show deserves to be renewed, this one gets my vote.
Yes yes yes!
Please renew Limitless. It is one of the few shows that is not gross, violent, sex laden, etc. Just plain pleasant to watch and try to figure out the ending. KEEP IT Please
We record limitless and watch when the house is quiet. Hobby and I love this show. Please please renew the series. Thanks

I love limitless the character are great and the story line are too
Please renew! It’s a great show and love the directing style!
Good show, CBS should consider some shows to be aired during the summer season for those of us that want to see something fresh, and not the usual reruns. I know they feel summer months people are outside doing things, and yes that is true, but we at least most of us have the DVR option and would enjoy watching new episodes and quality television at night during the summer.
I couldn’t agree more
Please renew love this show one of the best shows on TV .
Yes please renew! We love this show! Its so creative, light-hearted, clever…..it’s great! Keep cast and renew!
