'Limitless' Season 2 Air Date, News & Update: Season 2 Possible Renewal? CBS Plans New Plot?

As cancellation of "Limitless" Season 2 was confirmed, fans became desperate for the show to be picked up by other networks, according to Hollywood Reporter. Fans even organized a petition just to bring back the series on air.

Fans started a petition campaign in Care2Petitions asking CBS for a second installation of "Limitless". The petition campaign has garnered 34,528 signatures approximately as of this writing. A rumor suggests that CBS is apparently showing some interest in bringing the series back but it would change the plot and do a complete overhaul.

However, it was also reported that "Limitless" Season 2 was being pitched to other networks, including streaming services Amazon and Netflix. According to The Hollywood Reporter, both companies did not commit to picking up the series for another season. It is believed that these companies declined to pick up the CBS series due to a controversial issue about the NZT drug.

Sweeny has even readily prepared an interesting vision for what would be the show's sophomore season. "So, we're going to make some changes to the show, but it will remain essentially - we do find a way for it to be Brian taking the NZT working with Rebecca and Boyle and a couple new members on the team, solving crimes and having fun a week-to-week basis," Sweeny shared his ideas for "Limitless" Season 2.

The first installation of "Limitless" failed to reach the audience causing CBS to drop the series. Another factor that caused the early cancellation of "Limitless" was the fact that it was up against more popular shows like "NCIS". "Limitless" executive producer Craig Sweeny confirmed and reiterated the decision to the fans and he even thanked them for their support.
