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?
I like limitless as well as the movie that started it all please keep the show. Find a new direction for brian to keep using nzt and go on.
But the current direction is great!! Too as long as you keep it on the air
Please renew, It is a great show! It has a little of everything, excitement, funny and drama.
Look forward to watching it every week.
Liked the movie, Love the show. What a likable guy Brian Finch is! Such an ethical character. It’s enlightening to see how he reacts to what happens around him. The most recent episode looked like it tied up the series in a neat bundle. I don’t want to see it go.
Best show on television by a wide margin. Renew and do a better job of promoting it. This show could go a decade with increasing ad sales for years.
This show is great! With all these other shows on TV, this one really helps you understand what it feels like to be a nobody, then turn into someone special. A lot of people should be able to relate to something like this. The whole cast is talented and should not be cut short. Renew this great show! We are watching!!!
Renew please. This series is something totally different on TV. I look forward to watching it. Don’t get rid of it!
Renew. I really like the show. It’s a fresh new concept with lots of plot twists. As someone else pointed out it has limitless scenarios. This past week’s episode freaked me out a little however as it tied up a lot of loose ends making me think it is being cancelled. Which led me to jump online to see if it was on the chopping block. And ultimately here to post a comment about saving the show. It’s one of two I chose to watch this season, Madam Secretary being the other.
Renew. I will start my own ad campaign for this show if it is at risk of being canceled. The world, my world, is a brighter place with this on television as it is a window into a world, albiet fictitious, where greater reason and understanding is constantly triumphant over greed and egregious behavior. The show encourages reasoning and forgiveness while prioritising the greater good over selfish gains. The show may have started with a lower maturity or a focus on being a goof but the immature or unaware characters have matured and the focus on the greater good from… Read more »
Please renew! Love Bryan and Rebecca! Limitless is that rarity, a well-acted, well-written yet dramatic sci-fi thriller/spy/crime solving show that is funny! What more do they want from it – blood? Wait! Quick, throw up that cute kitten video again! Now, surely everyone will watch it forever! How can you resist this show and Bryan! Everyone on the show is awesome – but the actor who plays Bryan is my fave! Can you tell?
renew please, it is a great show
Renew!!!!
Please renew Limitless. I really enjoy the show and think that is a lot better than a lot of other shows. Very creative and interesting. Keep this show please.
Awesome show! !! Please renew. All the intelligent shows get canceled. I want good fiction, not reality TV. This is a perfect blend of drama, intrigue/spy, sci-fi, comedy. Great acting, sets and filming.
Please please please renew.
Please renew Limitless. There was only 1 new show I watched the whole season long and this is the show. Good characters, humor, and a bit of mystery. I believe it would be a mistake to cancel this show.
Please renew Limitless. It is an enjoyable show, with good characters. It is just a fun show to watch.
