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 the one show of the week that i come home from a long day at work and actually enjoy watching without playing on my phone during the episode. This show needs to stay but im gonna assume the worst because these large networks just want to make money without having to spend money for more than one season. Which is why not paying attention to customers that still have cable will ultimately result in the downfall of cable television. Keep the show for a couple of seasons and make the people that comment on these sites satisfied with… Read more »
The reason I never start watching shows is because you never know the future of them. I get hooked and bam, no more. I started watching Limitless because I liked the movie and it is such an awesome show! I never watch anything live, just DVR it, does that count towards the ratings? This show definitely deserves more seasons.
This is a new generation of chemical enhancement world, it brings to light the possibilities of foward thinking, This show has Limitless possibilities as its name, Don’t stop a never-ending story of futuristic devolpment that we are embarking on as a society
I’m loving this show! I think it’s clever and engrossing. The dialogue is witty and the storylines have been fresh.
PLEEEEASE keep Limitless running! Every week I see a new episode listed my eyes pop open and I set aside the time to watch it. It is one of, if not THE best show on TV these days and there are some damn good shows running. I’d tie this with Mr. Robot, which I watched back-to-back until it was done it was so good. Don’t let the lower numbers due to piracy fool you, people love this show and it will pay off huge in DVD sales, as well as increased live viewing after the first season goes to DVD… Read more »
Limitless should be a 6 or 7 series show, at the minimum, it is as good as Alias was, or third Rock, or Seinfeld, or any other highly watched show. It is one of my favorites at the moment, in fact I bought the whole season before it aired, on Roku. I don’t regret buying it, and I will buy every season that airs in the future.
Sincerely,

I love this show! Very refreshing to have an original show. The writing is brilliant and the editing is amazing! Please keep this show on for many years!
I love this show. It is refraishing and pretty new in it’s artistic content (The music which remind me of “What the BLEEP do we know (http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=what+the+bleep+do+we+know+film&qpvt=what+the+bleep+do+we+know+film&FORM=VDRE)”, the cartoon drawings, etc…) . The intrigue is funny and serious at the same time; the story is not that predictible and the caracters chemistry very good.
I REALLY enjoy it and hope that there will be many many more seasons coming, as long as the quality of the script stands. (Excuse my english, I’m a french canadian)
Enjoying Limitless! So many shows are the same, with the horror and gore, or just bad acting. This show is fun to watch, yet it deals with todays issues. If they have renewed Scorpion, (which I am not sure what age group would waste time with that show) I believe we need a season 2 of Limitless to see if it has legs to stay on. 🙂
Limitless is a program that is a very nice change from regular TV programs. There are too many reality programs on TV, and this program is one of the few that you need to pay attention to in order to follow the program. It’s not one that if you miss a program your lost, but during the program if you pay attention the program actually test your memory at times which is different then what anyone is doing on any other channel. Please do not cancel the program.
This is the best show on TV right now. I like it better than blacklist. The writers are creative and the broader story arc is surprising and interesting. By contrast Blind Spot is a predictable procedural cop show and is hard to sit through.
I’m also hoping for a renewal of MTVs Shannara Chronicles. Maybe the American audience is just so used to dumbed down pablum, and government programming, that it is impossible for decent shows to succeed any longer.
Please do not cancel Limitless. It is creative comic and suspenseful. Only about twice as interesting as shows like Blind spot and NEVIS LA. Keep us happy with limitless.
Limitless? I say Renew it for at least 1 more season. The show is a pleasure to watch although I have to say I wince at Brian’s use of “mother nature” & the occasional lack of sleeping with each other at the drop of a pin. I know, i’m one of those weirdo’s…BUT i still enjoy the show & can honestly say I look forward to Tuesday night and 10:00! I like to DVR it so i can watch it at my leisure the next day! Take it off ? Wouldn’t put it past the “Masterminds” who just might gain… Read more »
Please DO NOT cancel Limitless… MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES THIS SHOW!!
I will be really disappointed if they cancel Limitless. Limitless clearly has Smartness, Charm, Innocense, Creativity in it, It will be a shame if CBS cancels this, I hope another channel picks it up.
plz dnt cancel limitless, i love this tv series, i think ratings will be good if u interconnect the episode stories more, right now the stand alone stories that r airing on every channelle is having a bad time, even CW’s flash is having a horrible time, i stopped watching flash after 3 episodes of second season, but limitless is something else, i think it will be a blockbuster after 18 episodes.
