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?
This show has heart. Please renew it!
I love Limitless. Please don’t cancel it. The actors are great. the script is great. Everything about it is Great.
I enjoy Limitless. Don’t cancel
This has been a great show. I love the quirky funny things Brian daydreams on this “serious” show. It really keeps my attention and I would LOVE to see another season.
love this show, pls dont cancel. There are many shows that have survived and should be cancelled
My Husband and I have enjoyed this show.We watched every episode together, something that hasn’t happened in a while. We disagreed on many shows before this. We were tired of Vampire and werewolf type shows. Please definitely renew.
Please renew. Like the quirkiness.
show LOST 50 percent of its audience as the year went on. if renewed, it will be a ratings disaster next year, below one ratings like several other CBS shows (Cyber, elementary, madame secretary…)
Elementary fell off for a bit.. but it’s actually been a very relevant and engaging show at this point in the current season. This show has a lot of likable characters and plenty of room to play.
Unfortunately this is just a testament to the short attention span, shallow, need-to-have-simple-bonehead-sophomoric-full of stupid sexual undertones-violent entertainment desires of the viewing public in this country….
Basically, I too have been worried about this show getting renewed simply because it’s too good for the average stupid American slob watching at home!
PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!! RENEW!!!
One of the best series ! I really enjoyed watching this show and I really really hope it will be renewed! Finger crossed.
Renewed, no question about it
Definitely renew Limitless! My husband, and friends love it. It is fast and funny, with great plots/story lines. I would definitely be upset if it was not renewed!!
Limitless should be renewed. It is a show that everyone in our home likes to watch. We are getting really tired of talent and realaliy shows.
Renew limitless. It’s a show both I and my husband both actually like to watchange together. It’s funny, suspenseful,and very entertaining. Please don’t cancel it for some stupid reality singing show or dating show or tough man competition show,
Please renew limitless. Its the only series I have been really into for years!!!
I have enjoyed this show all season. Edgy and great cast. Scripts are good to great. I hope for a new season. We lost the last ten minutes of the finale due to thunderstorm, but we hope to watch off internet. Lost a lot of finales during 2015 season, but satellite is our only option, so we must live with this. On air channels stream full-time weather and preempt everything.
