The drama of network upfronts may have passed us by, but Limitless fans were left in the lurch over the fate of CBS’ TV sequel series, at least until now. Yes, Limitless officially reached its limit at one season, as discussions with other outlets have fallen through.

We’re starting to see movie-TV adaptations with lower and lower success rates, though where some end up only trimmed (for now), CBS’ Limitless will live up to its name just a bit more.

CBS’ Supergirl series suffered something of a mishap in leaking its pilot just days after being picked up to series, and now Superman’s cousin at last has a proper arrival ahead.

CBS’ announcement and pickup of its Limitless TV series came with the unsurprising attachment that original film star Bradley Cooper would pitch in as executive producer.

The dial of Upfronts 2015 has officially landed on CBS, and of six new dramas ordered, a few should feel plenty familiar to fans. Not only has the long-gestating Rush Hour reboot been greenlit to series, so too has the network’s adaptation of Bradley Cooper intelligence thriller Limitless.
