No Season 2 for the movie-based drama.
May 25, 2016
CBS has cancelled Limitless after its first season. The news comes a week after the freshman drama was left off the network's 2016-2017 schedule, though at the time executives stated they were exploring moving the series to another network.
Confirmation of Limitless' cancellation came this afternoon from showrunner Craig Sweeny, who took to Twitter with the news:
"I'm truly sad to report that #Limitless will not continue on any platform. Thanks so much to everyone who watched."

I liked it ..but the love affair was short. The main character ... Brian ..the funkiness wore thin. I am not saying the show was terrible ... it just lost its glow with me. I think I watched 6 episodes. when I don't want to watch anymore I know there's something wrong ...sure enough ...cancelled.

Ragnarok: I believe some of those reasons are valid and some are because of the person being in denial and not wanting to accept that a show they love and care about the people is gone, dead, kaputz. But, I believe the biggest contributor is that there is just so much out there to watch now. I have to make a list to keep track of what I want to watch and a list of what I will watch on demand, because so many of them are all on at the same time. Also, people are getting sick of investing their time and emotions on something that has an untimely death. People get really involved and are seriously emotionally impacted by that. I mean, we watch tv to relax and have fun, not to go through break ups and be upset. So, I know that I am beginning to wait to see if the show is picked up for a 2nd season, then watch the first one on Netflix and I have heard a lot of people DVR the first season. People are trying to let the people, who make these decisions know, that if they don't give it a 2nd season chance, then we aren't taking a chance on it either. Why should we? Limitless was so good, that I believe it would have been a hit, if they had give it a second season. I am really upset to see it cancelled. Excuse me, I have gotten past denial and am into anger, so I need to go throw a fit right now.

It was a hard decision actually. I really like the mom comment (I paraphrased it from a comment I only saw once). I decided to give it second billing because I did only see it the one time, whereas the Netflix comment is made practically every time a show is canceled. Hindsight, so is the reality show comment, so I probably should have given that a better spot too, but I stand by the Netflix comment as number 1.

10. It was a great show, they didn't even give it a chance!

8. Leave it to these network execs to cancel a show that makes the audience have to think!
7. Network execs don't know what they are doing and should all be fired!

Very Very upset this is being cancelled. It was my favorite new show of the season. Total bummer. :(

I am so tired of these idiotic networks canceling good shows while they keep putting "reality TV" garbage on the air. This was one of the few shows I looked forward to every week. Yet Survivor, bachelorette,etc will keep going on, and on, and on, and on, /puke.

One of the best shows. Will absolutely miss this. What is next for Debra Messing? I can't wait
