As expected, CBS has cancelled BrainDead after one low-rated season, RenewCancelTV has confirmed.
The comedy-drama joins American Gothic in the cancellation graveyard, after the network opted not to continue either series into Season 2.
That leaves Zoo as the sole CBS summer scripted drama to survive for the 2016-17 season.
RIP.

Braindead was the best show on television this summer – what a shame – it was much better than most of the shows currently on CBS.
Helen says
I LOVED this series but I couldn’t see it going much further than it did.
Candace says
I’m so disappointed that “Brain Dead” won’t be renewed. Of all the lousy, inane shows on tv these days, this was not one of them. I find it hard to believe that especially in these times, political satire has no audience. Of corse I also saw no attempt on the part of CBS to promote the show either.
Michael says
Political Satire has an audience, it had a huge audience! It was called the elections: Felony Clinton vs. Toon Trump.
HA! says
Network execs are MORONS. This was the most innovative, entertaining, prime time show in YEARS. There was nothing else like it on ANY network. I guess they only want to renew the 1980s reboots (MacGyver, Lethal Weapon, etc) or cop/legal/medical shows that are WELL past their prime.
It’s a complete travesty that this show was cancelled.
Fred Weber says
I told you t hat after episode TWO!!!!!
Joanne says
One of the best show I have seen. This is a same very desapointing.
Thank you for a great summer show

as usual, a network puts on a new, clever, innovative, entertaining show with more than one layer; a show that you can laugh and makes you think, and of course it gets cancelled. I knew it didn’t have much chance of being renewed since it was a summer replacement, but if the network had given it a modicum of promotion so the general public could have given it a test drive, they would have had a real hit for next season. And sadly, the fans of the show, however passionate, are not high enough in numbers to get a viral campaign going to save the show. It’s a damn shame. I tip my hat to the very clever creators, writers and cast. A true gem.

I LOVED this show and looked forward to watching it every week. It didn’t help the show when CBS decided to switch the viewing schedule around! I wish another network or Netflix would pick up this show!
Michael says
I loved this show, loved the charactors and where the story was going. Mustav been to hard to write.

I loved the cast and the song at the opening and the plot. It was something new. I always love Shaloob.
