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?
The only show I actually tune in for when a new episode comes out. Was a little rough towards mid-season, but really picked up towards the end. What to do with my Tuesdays now.
Renew Life in Pieces, Supergirl, Limitless, and Code Black.
I love it and really hope it’s renewed, great cast, looking forward to much much more
Please renew this show, at least for one more season. I believe there will be more watchers once word gets around. Good cast, interesting story line. I was late coming to this show, so am playing catch up.
Must renew… One of the few series I look forward to seeing every week…
Definitely renew the show! It has found its stride and keeps getting stronger.
Please renew this show. I find it compelling to watch and thought provoking on many levels.

I think this show should be renewed. It has such a different premise than all the other shows which are so much alike. Please renew.
