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?
CBS is such a fool give this spot to limitless
No!!!!! Why the ratings are dropping? Limitless is so good!!!!!
LOVE IT. Absolutely awesme, witty, dramatic and funny. Great actors.
Definitely DO NOT CANCEL! Love it, love it!
That hugging episode was absolutely horrendous first episode my wife skipped halfway thru. It was very annoying and if that’s creativity then any 12 year old can conceptualize stories or future episodes. Please stop that garbage.
It’s not that you are not wrong, but rather Brian, so far, is an NZT enigma, because his humanity partially comes from the innocence of his child-like sensibilities. So the show takes it’s darkest subject matter and often filters and presents it through the scope of Brian–so yes, there are 12 old aspects to the series, but that it was makes it so interesting IMO, because it’s asking viewers to consider for a moment how one takes one learns to take responsibility in order to become an adult, but at the same time the importance of not letting the cynical… Read more »
I love Limitless, plz dont cancell
What’s wrong with the creative “hug” episode? It is incredibly creative, daring to do something different rather than stick to the boring police/FBI procedural. You have to watch it with the right mindset. While on NZT Brian’s brain is at its most creative so sit back and enjoy it. It’s entertaining. It’s a departure from the norm. It is suppose to reflect the heightened state of his brain on NZT.
started out like it might be intriguing and serious but its turned into a comedy. no thanks
My husband and I like the show very much. Think the actors are good as well as the story line. We were looking forward to viewing it last night but it wasn’t on. KEEP it on. A better night or time would also help. Thank you.
Don’t mean to sound like a snob, but this is one of the new shows I’ll watch on network TV (goodbye “Happy Ending” and “Enlisted”). It’s funny, sweet, the star has charisma to go and I love the supporting cast. Don’t think too hard about the premise and enjoy and CBS – dont make me turn away from network TV forever. My kids already have and they’re just young teenagers.
I absolutely LOVE “Limitless” and was extremely upset when I saw that it wasn’t on tonight (2/2/16) for some unknown reason. I pray it WILL continue for a number of years to come. The only suggestion I would make is to leave OUT a lot of the ‘silly’ stuff that Brian does or creates with his imagination – like the guy dressed in the weird outfit that looked a bit like a lizard??? Not sure what he was supposed to be – maybe I missed it, but some of the material has been WAY too immature for the content of… Read more »
The show is getting too silly and off-topic, rather aimless season story arch development. Characters are turning into a joke. I liked it at firs, when it was more serious and grounded in reality. Hug episode should never have happened!
Love this show! Whitty, fun. I never saw the movie but my husband says they are doing a great job of following it.
I am a year into of divorce after 22years of marriage starting in high school. My ex wife always wanted me to watch new shows and cancelled shows is why I didn’t and always got hooked on shows when they hit syndication. I now watch new shows and already getting frustrated with possibilities of cancellations!! Never seen the movie but Limitless is a great show!! Including Code Black and Elementary!
I love this show and the word episode so funny. So Creative took me a minute then I loved it. Characters are so likeable ,charming. The show is smart. If ratings sre not good, enough people haven’t found it yet. Better than How to get away with murder,Blacklist, which were my had to watch shows before this.
