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?
I LOVE Limitless. The interplay between Brian and Rebecca is awesome. Using the backstory of Sen Moira and using that to go forward to where we are NOW is amazing.
Love it!!! I am sorry but if THIS gets cancelled and Survivor gets renewed I WILL SCREAM!!!!
This is a great show. I have it auto-tuned so I don’t ever miss it. Please, please renew!
What first attracted me to the show was Bradley Cooper, but I’m happy that he is a background character because the one who steals the show is Jake McDorman. Perfect actor to play this role. It’s rare to have a show that can have you on the edge of your seat one second and have you laughing the next from the quirky looks or voiceover of Finch’s mind. A great cast of performers. Please ‘renew’ this show. I would hate to lose such a great original entertaining show.
Please do not cancel this show this is my favorite show the only one I watch. It’s Awesome. ….
Do not cancel. Best new show!
Great Show. Always keeps me thinking of what’s going to happen next. The show is a mixture of drama with a slight touch of comedy. Love it. Please renew for another season.
We LOVE this show.PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!
Love the show. You should give it a second season. It has not gain its stride, but it’s getting there. It’s very creative.
Please DO NOT cancel this show. I absolutely LOVE “Limitless.” RENEW!!!! (See Midnight Arrakis’ comment, below. I’m in complete agreement.)
My husband and I watched the movie and were so excited to see a television show spin off. This is probably my favorite show of the week and I have watched every episode! We love it and it deserves a second season!! CBS is crazy if they don’t renew!!
Love this show! Please renew.
Literally if you cancel this show I will never watch this network again. Normally I stick to HBO, showtime, starz shows. Occasionally FX has some good ones. CBS this is your only stellar show! It’s fantastic!

Myself and my husband love this show best show on CBS
I love this show! One of the only ones my husband and I watch together.
