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 shared her dismay that there will be no "Limitless" Season 2 jus because no one is willing to pick it up. To make matters worse, Netflix thinks that the show's storyline is too deep for people to get engaged with. That was the last straw for fans. "Netflix business model is to feature shows that people want to marathon...this [Limitless] is just such a show," the fan said in one of GamenGuide "Limitless" Season 2 articles. The fan the added that "in regards to complexity, 'Sense 8' has one of the most complex story lines I've seen and it's a wonderful fit for netflix...just like limitless would be."
There have been whispers and speculations if the show will be picked up or not, but nothing was confirmed until now. "Limitless" executive producer Craig Sweeny finally breaks his silence and revealed that "Limitless" is definitely cancelled. This confirmation also means that there is officially no future for "Limitless" Season 2. 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 almost 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.
