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.

I really love the series it needs to be renewed. We need feel good shows. There is so many killing tv series. We need happy series to balance out the hate and violence and just all around bloody series. Love the cast of this Pure Genius.
Please renew Pure Genius. This tv show was so perfect to know what medical geniuses could accomplish. The actors are perfect in their parts. Again please renew Pure Genius.
Very sad to learn this show was cancelled! My husband and I looked forward to watching it every week – the acting was great, the story lines wonderful – we thought for sure it would carry on for at least 3/4 seasons. Hope it reconsidered for renewal!
Pure Genius, in my opinion, was an intelligent and entertaining show. I don’t think it was given a fair chance or promoted enough! Not many people even knew about it (?)
I am not a fan of all these “reality” shows. This series was reallly good and I looked forward to seeing. The acting was top notch, I hope it is reconsidered in the near future!
I love pure genius. It is a show that has heart. Please renew the show for season 2
Love this snow, when will it be back?
