A trailer for Chris Hemsworth’s upcoming series Limitless with Chris Hemsworth was released Friday night. The show stars Thor and Extraction on a rollercoaster of endurance and survival that pushes the mind and body to their limits to fight aging and unlock the full potential of the human body.
His brother, actor Liam Hemsworth, will be on the show, and filmmaker Darren Aronofsky will also taunt Chris for taking on these extreme challenges. “You’re crazy,” Chris replies. Each episode of the six-part series follows Chris as he faces physical and mental feats designed by world-class experts, scientists and doctors to reveal different aspects of the aging process. I’m here. The tests include, as shown in the trailer, staying away from food for four days, navigating the Australian outback without any compass or technology, swimming 800 feet across a 36-degree Arctic fjord, climbing a 100-foot rope dangling over a canyon, and walking along a crane atop a 900-foot-tall skyscraper, 80 stories high. “Why am I doing this,” mutters an exhausted Chris to himself at one point.
Produced by National Geographic, Darren Aronofsky and his production company Protozoa, Jane Root`s Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson`s newly formed Wild State, Limitless puts cutting-edge science of human longevity center-stage. The series` synopsis describes it as “part global scientific adventure, part personal journey, with each meticulously crafted challenge rooted in game-changing science, drawing on new research and long-held traditions”. All episodes of the series premiere November 16, on Disney+ Hotstar.
