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?
Limitless is one of my favorite shows out right now and helps me get thru the week knowing my Tuesday night (which is normally one of the worst days of my week) I have Limitless to look forward to which I haven’t had since sons of anarchy. So please for the love of God bring back limitless.
Please Renew! I’m more of an independent thinker and yet I am still addicted to this other perspective-this show. It is very stimulating and is mind-blowing. It has a new, fresh perspective taken on a trite theme of competing detective shows. In addition, it also shows Bradley Cooper’s hidden talent outside of acting, of producing a great show! I knew Bradley was an English major, but didn’t realize he could produce such a great show! Good scripts are hard to find these days. I always like Jake McDorman too watching him play the boyfriend of Hayden Panetierre and Sara Paxton… Read more »
PLEASE don’t cancel Limitless. It is one of the best shows on TV right now. Fascinating, funny, thought- provoking, and done without being infused with mindless and inappropriate sexual undertones. It’s the best. Please keep it.
Please, don’t cancel …renew it ….we love it so much here in Turkey.
I shouldn’t have too say this but “Limitless” shouldn’t even be considered to be one of the shows to be cancelled! It has so much potential it’s hard to count the opportunities to be better than it already is:)
Please renew Limitless!! Love the characters, the plots and cameo appearances by B. Cooper.
I love Limitless, second only to Scorpion! Please renew
Love this show…do not cancel. Brian is just about to become a superhero with the FBI…way better than The Listener.
Such a great show. My daughter and I never miss it! It’s clever and full of twists. Don’t cancel it!!!
Please don’t cancel this show! My husband and I are HUGE fans! We love it!
I really LOVE this show i would love to watch another season
Love love love this show ppppplllleeeaasseee dont cancel it
Good show! Keep it! Something entertaining and clean. Refreshing.
Really lik the show and hope to see a second season.
Love this show……one of the few dramas our family loves. Can’t understand how sick shows like Criminal Minds stay on the air for so long and Limitless is debatable for renewal
