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 great potential and should be given the opportunity to play more than a season..I believe it use a little action and suspense but over all it’s great!
RE NEW
Love this show. It has everything I I want (drama, comedy, suspense, likable characters) and nothing that I don’t want (sex, profanity, heavy violence).
Love this show. Very different from anything else on TV.
This show has too much potential to only be one season, The idea of this show is the future.
Renew…. and the character’s name is Brian Finch. Not sure where “Sinclair” came from…
I think limitless needs to be renewed and kept on CBS…I don’t watch a lot of shows on CBS so I really hope they keep limitless at least to compete a little with ABC. Just my opinion. Thanks.
Renew! I really loved the first few episodes of the series but then it turned into something more like regular and boring. Enough with this cop thing and ****.
Terrible show. It had the chance to be SO much more, but instead they turned it into another ‘cop show’.
RIP.
True dude
Soo true.
This is a variant of Psych…the star even looks like James Roday
exactly! I couldn’t think of “where I saw this show before” thanks. (Psyche was better)
Definitely reminds me of Psych. I was a huge fan of Gus & Shawn in that show…& their constant banter. Hopeful that Limitless will stick around for a while. Like the Mike & Ike characters, too!
dumb show, last episode was stupid.not watching anymore.
I would love to see more limitless! The mix of genious/humor is great, starting to get to know the cast, and have a little bit of a crush on the lead character Brian.
Renew! Even through I thought Headquarters could have been 3 or 4 episodes instead of one!! Love it and I work on a worse show and was sad to see it cancelled. I feel for these shows trying to get a foot hold and if limitless just got a few more viewers we would be safe
I love Limitless, and when it ends I dont have a clue what ill do on my Tuesday nights. Please, please, please start working on season 2 because i am in love with Limitless.
Renew!
