The Disney-owned company has renewed Limitless With Chris Hemsworth for a second season, which like the first will stream on Disney+. The formal pickup comes more than a year after the first season debuted in November 2022.
Season one of Limitless followed Hemsworth as he explored — using himself as a test subject — scientific developments in helping people live longer, healthier lives. Season two will focus on “a series of physical and mental obstacles that people across the world face daily: mental agility, pain, burnout and interpersonal connection,” according to the show’s logline.
“Working on Limitless was an eye-opening experience that allowed me to reflect on my strengths, vulnerabilities, and all the ways in which we as humans can plan toward longevity,” Hemsworth said in a statement. “For this next season, we are attempting to raise the bar and go even deeper in this exploration alongside health and wellness experts from around the globe.”
Added Tom McDonald, executive vp global factual and unscripted content at National Geographic, “Millions of viewers around the world were inspired and wowed by the combination of science, endeavor and the incredibly committed Chris Hemsworth in the first season, so it’s with huge pride that we announce its return. This new season will have the scale, the drama and the challenges you’d expect from Limitless, but we’ve also got some big and exciting surprises in store for the audience and for Chris himself.”
Series creators Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel of Protozoa Pictures executive produce Limitless with Jane Root and Tom Watt-Smith of Nutopia and Hemsworth and Ben Grayson of Wild State.
