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 so enjoy Limitless and it’s wonderful cast. Hope it will continue.
Please, please, please bring back Limitless! I love this show!!!
Please renew Limitless. It is Highly entertaining, fast-paced and funny.
I am not a serious TV watcher but I wait all week long for my favorite show on Tuesdays and it is Limitless. How can this awesome, intelligent show be removed when other poorly written and performed shows like Two Broke Girls get prime time spots? It is very disappointing. Please don’t let Limitless get the hook.
Please keep this show on the air. 10/10 in my book. Please CBS don’t fail us now. Just love Limitless. Brian & Rebecca make an awesome crime fighting team. Love the fact that the senator from the hit movie also plays his deep mysterious role. All in conclusion LIMITLESS FOR THE WIN!!! Please CBS renew.
Limitless – a smart, fast paced, imaginative series with a wide range of interesting characters led by Brian and Rebecca. We look forward to tuning in each week, and are keeping our fingers crossed that this very special show will be renewed! It is definitely a keeper.
Like others have mentioned before me, the latest episode had the feel of leading up to a series finale which I hope isn’t the case. As I was watching I was happy to see Brian and Rebecca get closer and the secrets between them being erased but as soon as it ended I immediately went online frantically seeking a renewal story posted somewhere. The show just can’t end. It’s so refreshing and hilarious and I love every character especially the amazing Jake as Brian.
Love the show please keep it going
