Limitless Officially Cancelled – No Season 2 ‘On Any Platform’

May 25, 2016 by RenewCancelTV 35 Comments

limitless cancelled season 2

Limitless is 100% dead. Cancelled at CBS, the series was being shopped to other outlets for Season 2.

However, exec producer Craig Sweeny has now put an end to those faint second season hopes, confirming that the show “will not continue on any platform”.

Per THR, producers CBS Television Studios had taken Limitless to Amazon and Netflix, with the latter immediately passing on picking up the series for Season 2, and now Amazon fully consigning it the cancellation graveyard.

I'm truly sad to report that #Limitless will not continue on any platform. Thanks so much to everyone who watched.

— Craig Sweeny (@CraigSweeny) May 25, 2016

The reaper awaits…

RIP.

      I CANNOT BELIEVE you would cancel this series!!!!! It was so smart, funny, heart warming. WTF CBS, not everyone wants to watch reality tv, or cookie cutter shows.

      This was well written, well acted and entertaining. To every one involved in the show, I thank you.

      I’m truly disappointed.

        I’m so with you Lynne! I absolutely refuse to watch reality tv and cookie cutter shows. I seek out the unique…and with all my favorite shows either being cancelled before they can really get started or coming to a natural conclusion, I foresee myself living out my life watching re-runs.

    WTF CBS? Les Moonves said quite some time ago that this show was to be renewed. It’s a good show and had decent ratings. Why CBS? WHY?!?

    I support every other decision you made, except this one. This is asinine!

    OK so you cancel limitless but keep 2 broke girls on.The reboot of MacGyver will be canceled after one season.CBS has been stupid,they canceled Stalker.But anything super dumb or has CSI in it they keep.

    I am pretty stunned by this decision. Limitless was one of the better shows on TV and the ratings weren’t horrible. It didn’t fit into the NCIS, Blue Blood, Hawaii 5-0, etc. niche of murder and solve, murder and solve. Limitless had imagination and so much more potential than most CBS shows and it’s a pity that many people won’t get a chance to see entertaining creativity.

    I really love NCIS and Blue Bloods and am glad they were renewed, but likewise this was a super series, that like Stalker just hasn’t been given a chance! It was fresh, different and quirky, who are the numb nuts that make these decisions?!!!

      I did not mean to imply Blue Bloods or NCIS were bad shows – I just wanted to make a point about the ‘type’ of program that finds success on CBS. Let’s face it – there are 3 NCIS shows currently airing (all have the same premise). CSI had 4 spun off the original success (also same premise).

      Limitless was, as you said, fresh with both generally intelligent writing and humor.

      It will be missed.

    They’re cleaning the stables so thoroughly the networks must have found a bigger s**t shovel. Hope other major losers like The Player and Minority Report have been consigned to the white elephants graveyard too. Next to go: hopefully Sleepy Hollow. The writers lost the plot early in S2 and dont seem to know where to find it.

    It’s getting to the point where nobody will watch new series because they simply can’t trust the network to reward your interest with continued support. Maybe we should all just boycott anything new until CBS gives a 2 season guarantee on anything they produce.

    You keep the blood and gut shows on forever but don’t give great light-hearted shows like Limitless a chance to develop their signature. You are no longer my favorite channel since you dumped this great show. Now you’re just dumb.

      To J.m – Are you seriously implying that ‘old people’ didn’t watch Limitless and that’s why it is cancelled? I hate to break it to you but it is the lack of ‘young’ people watching that got it cancelled. They (18-49) are apparently all busy watching the Kardashians, 2 Broke Girls and 6 hours of the Voice every week to tune into Limitless.

    Cancelling this show is the most singular dumbest thing I’ve heard of this entire year.

    Just what boxes do you need checked to keep a show alive? Let’s review….

    1. Humour: Limitless->check!
    2. Wit and Intelligence: Limitless-> check!
    3. Great chemistry between the cast: Limitless-> check!
    4. Mystery..tons of plot line possibilities: Limitless-> check!
    5. A substance that unlocks the limitless potential of the human brain but still maintains believability as a whole: Limitless-> check!
    6. Getting the audience to feel invested, yet finding the show heart warming and serious when it needs to be: Limitless -> check!
    7. Ratings and viewership: Limitless -> check!
    8. Big star in the form of Bradley Cooper: Limitless -> check!
    9. Deserving of AT LEAST ONE MORE SEASON: Limitless!- check check check!!!!

    I mean….I could keep going on!
    What more do you need CBS Execs????!! Grow half a brain and you’d see you’re making a humongous mistake cancelling this show after one season. There are certainly worse shows that have been on the air longer…. comon!

      Perhaps if a CBS Exec took NZT one day they’d be able to solve the mystery that has eluded them for decades: How to identify a potential “hit” series when it is staring you in the face.

    This really pisses me off. They keep ratings disaster ‘Supergirl’ and pass on this show. It was great and really had set itself up for some reinvention next season.

    It is even worse that Netflix and Amazon passed. CBS can do NCIS & CSI a ton of ways and usually give them a good chance. I think we get a fourth Chicago themed show next season.

    Limitless and Person of Interest were two of my favorite shows. I’m glad I can at least keep Scorpion.

    one of the best shows on television. how stupid to cancel this one. there are so few really good shows and then they get cancelled. hope someone picks this one up….please

    also love outdaughtered and it will probably be cancelled too. I guess good quality television does not sell. only sex, lies, manipulation, murder, and on and on. maybe this explains some of the things that happens in our country.

    Obviously I just read this?! CBS you are becoming like NBC – cancelling good shows after season one. I hardly ever watch NBC because of that reason. Don’t make me add you to that list. Limitless was a great show to watch. My husband and I both watched. So Sad.
