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 enjoy it much and watch other cbs tv because of limitless
Limitless is amazing!!! Please don’t cancel this intelligent, creative, imagination stimulating show! So much drivel on tv!!! Cancel some brainless sitcom, or annoying “reality” show. RENEW LIMITLESS FOR 2nd Season!!!!!!!!!!
I love the character development of Brian from a deadbeat to a stand up man. He obviously loves Rebecca and has been trying to protect her, but he also loves Piper and, as usual, is confused. This show has come a long way. It’s funny and entertaining, but there is a lot of deeper messages that are very subtle. Don’t be like Fox and cancel a series like Firefly simply based on ratings, make sure it airs on a night, and not a Friday night when everyone is going out. There’s a ton of story to tell now that Rebecca… Read more »
Love watching the show. Definitely should be renewed.
Please renew this series! Seriously is my favorite show out right now. Please give this show another season
I love this show. Please Do Not Cancel. My friend does not watch it now but has recorded every show to watch at a later date. What she has seen she likes very much. I love the story line and the character interaction. Mostly there is not a lot of gratuitous bloodshed and boring car chases. Please renew this show
Love this show! Definitely should be renewed!
Limitless is the best new show this year. It would be a real shame to cancel this one. It’s intelligent, it’s funny, the characters are good — it’s SO much better than so many of the mindless shows airing today. I watch it on Comcast after the fact often, simply because it runs late and I work early. Bring it back!
This show is fun to watch and has good character development. Please renew it. It’s so much better than most of the crap that’s on now.
Love Limitless!! Please don’t cancel.
Absolutely love thus show and Rebecca Harris and Brian Finch’s chemistry together, hope CBS keeps this show and doesn’t disappoint.
Love the show n I hope it gets renewed. The show has endless potential. Have to think outside the box. Saw season finale n love it. A little to quick ending.
My wife and I love, and watch limitless every week. This has become our number one favorite show that we can’t wait to see every week. A serious thumbs up. We will be VERY DISAPPOINTED should it be canceled, after only one season. My wife and I believe that ratings will continue to grow with additional seasons, and would be ecstatic to see this new favorite of ours stay on the air. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL….
The ratings aren’t growing at all unfortunately. They are consistently going the other way. Too bad really, it is actually pretty good.
I love this show. Don’t cancel!
Love the show please renew , taped show so I wouldn’t miss a single episode, renew renew renew
