Just because the "Limitless" executive producer has already confirmed the cancellation of the show, it does not mean that the fans will just accept its fate. When CBS dropped "Limitless," fans believe that the next best platform for the show is Netflix. According to reports, the show's plot is too complex for the service to pick "Limitless" Season 2 up, and fans are clearly unhappy about it.
One fan left a comment in one of GamenGuide's "Limitless" season 2 articles, mocking Netflix that if the they find the show to be complex then maybe Netflix needed NZT as well. The mysterious and controversial drug, NZT, is the show's focal point and is said to be the reason why outlets are hesitant to give "Limitless" season 2 a chance.
The concept of the NZT drug may be too much for the viewers of Netflix as there may be minors watching the show. Their hesitation is also echoed by Amazon, who also turned "Limitless" Season 2 down after producers of the show tried to shop it to the outlet.
"Limitless" executive producer Craig Sweeny finally breaks his silence and revealed that "Limitless" is definitely cancelled. This confirmation also meant that there is certainly no future for "Limitless" Season 2.
Instead of accepting the show's fate, fans have been aggressively sharing their thoughts and frustrations in the comment sections of all the GamenGuide articles. One fan even started an online petition for "Limitless" Season 2 to be picked up. The initial goal was just to reach 3,000 signatures, but after GamenGuide shared the petition site back in July, it has now reached over 30,000 supporters.
Basing on this petition site, the amount of love that "Limitless" Season 2 got in less than three months is very impressive. But no matter how hard the fans try to show their support for "Limitless" season 2, it seems like it's just falling on deaf ears.
