CBS has opted not to order additional episodes of new medical drama series
Pure Genius beyond its original 13-episode pickup. The series will wrap production on Dec. 15 after completing Episode 13.
Pure Genius is not being formally canceled and theoretically remains in contention for a Season 2 renewal though its chances are considered slim at best. All produced episodes are expected to air, and the series will remain in its Thursday 10 PM slot for the time being. Pure Genius, from Universal TV and CBS TV Studios, has been a soft but stable performer, opening with a 1.1 Live+same day adults 18-49 rating and logging a 0.9 demo L+SD rating for its three subsequent airings. - Nellie Andreeva
