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?
CBS needs to renew Limitless. It’s a very good show!
I only watch CBS (except for Grimm on NBC), so I’ve seen what CBS has to offer. Of all the new and quite a few older shows, Limitless is by far THE BEST! The plot, the characters, the cast…every aspect of the show…are all superb! The series deserves to stay on the air.
One of the best new shows of the year Brian Finch Rules
A Must watch for me. Always record it and watch later. eWill definitely hate to see it go. Hope the Powers that be change their minds!!!
Please renew Limitless. Me, my husband, 5 brothers & sisters and friends love it!
Absolutely brilliant show, with a brilliant cast, I don’t understand how the ratings aren’t through the roof, who didn’t watch Limitless the movie and think “this needs a TV series”?
Renew!
I definitely want Limitless to be renewed. I think it’s original and interesting. It’s one of about 5 got to see shows.
I think this is a great show, I hope it is renewed. I watch with my kids every week….we look forward to this show every week!
Limitless is brilliantly crafted TV. Creative filming, combining art, tech, and smarts. The cast personalities fit perfectly with their roles in this ‘classy’ cheese comedy crime show.
I have truly enjoyed watching this series and am always looking forward to seeing how they will craft their new episode.
I hope that they continue this series, even if they get Netflix to take it over.
Kudos to the creators and their goofy brilliance.
The best show right now on tv! This show has so much potential and as others have also said, the cast is great especially Jake McDorman as Finch. Loved the movie and love the series.
renew asap! My current favorite show!
Please renew!! Best show I’ve seen in years!!
I love this show! I think it’s entertaining and I look forward to it every week. Jake McDormand is a so charming. Actually, the entire cast is great. Please renew for another season.
Please renew – I really enjoy this show!
I actually think this is one of the best series on TV, great concepts, characters, scripts and so on. PLEASE SOMEBODY continue this series.
