'Limitless' Season 2 Air Date & Cast News: Networks Pass Up; Show Officially Cancelled?

Everyone knows just how a challenging few months it has been for "Limitless" season 2. The show, which starred Jake McDorman as Brian Smith, was prevented from having a "Limitless" season 2 on CBS earlier this year after it was canceled on the network. The cancellation was a surprise for many of the science fiction comedy drama show as it actually had decent ratings; often averaging 6-7 million viewers on the Live + 7 broadcast ratings.

The hopes for "Limitless" season 2 fell even further this week after it was rumored that the CW finally passed up on the opportunity to develop the show. The CW was the last chance for "Limitless" season 2 to be done as negotiations with other broadcast networks like FOX, NBC and ABC did not succeed.

Back in May, deals regarding "Limitless" season 2 with the streaming services like Amazon and Netflix failed, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Showrunner Craig Sweeney confirmed the "Limitless" season 2 news and he thanked the fans for fighting for the television series. The last hope for "Limitless" season 2 is for a cable network like HBO, Showtime, FX or AMC to commit to making the show.

With the future of "Limitless" season 2 in limbo, the star power of executive producer and recurring cast member Bradley Cooper can be beneficial to the franchise. But with Variety confirming that he will be making his directorial debut as well as co-star in an upcoming remake of the classic film "A Star Is Born," it unlikely he will be unable to shop "Limitless" season 2 to cable networks.
