The team members on the Pure Genius TV show work together to save lives. It’s a noble cause but will their stories attract enough viewers to bring big ratings? Will this new CBS TV series be cut down in its prime (cancelled) or, will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Pure Genius follows top medical professionals as they team up with cutting-edge tech experts and try to push the boundaries of modern medicine to save lives. Doctor Walter Wallace (Dermot Mulroney) is a disgraced but brilliant surgeon who is recruited by a young Silicon Valley tech billionaire, James Bell (Augustus Prew). Wallace learns that Bell is harboring a secret and he begins to question just what the young founder is really trying to achieve. Others on the team are played by Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song.
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.

Pure Genius started later in the fall than most new shows. Please give us a season 2. My husband and I love this show, as do our adult children.
RENEW. It is one on the best shows on tv.
Finally a show that shows faith in humanity, good deeds and hope for the future…. and CBS takes it away. PLEASE renew it!!!

Renew. Great cast. Interesting cases with a human side. Love it
Yes, please renew! It’s a show with heart and interesting stories and great characters who continue to develop toward the end of the season.
Love Pure Genius. The story lines and characters are great. Please renew
Definitely renew it! My husband and I love it!
Please renew this show. My husband and I never missed an episode.
Please keep going !!!!
This Show should be renewed… so many really cool things and way to many unanswered questions. Change time slots or give it a better lead in… it’s a great show and gives people hope .
Please consider renewing this wonderful show. It’s at the top of our favorites. From the beginning, I gave KUDOS to whoever conceived the idea of this show, the selection of the fantastic actors (namely James and “W”), and the concept of the hospital of the future. Also LOVE the way James is dressed…….excellent for a Genius!!!
If they cancel this show it would be a shame. Please don’t be like NBC. Give it a chance. I am speading the word to get more viewers.
My family and I are going to be very upset if it is not renewed. Far crappier things get to stay on their air. Give this a chance, please.
The tech side is so cool, plus the touching stuff. It’s a great combo.
I am not sure why I ever start watching a new show. They always get canceled. Please rethink this. I want to knowehat happens with W and James.
