Chris Hemsworth is back and bolder than ever in the brand-new series Limitless: Live Better Now. Premiering on National Geographic, the series continues the journey started in the original Limitless, but this time with a powerful new focus: discovering how we can all live better, healthier lives today.
A New Mission for Chris Hemsworth
In this latest chapter from Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, Limitless: Live Better Now takes audiences on a global journey through six countries over the course of two years. The series is produced by Aronofsky’s Protozoa, Jane Root’s Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson’s Wild State.
Chris faces a series of extreme physical and mental challenges to explore topics that affect us all. Fear. Pain, Cognitive decline, and resilience. From climbing a towering 600-foot wall in the Swiss Alps to joining South Korean Special Forces for a brutal pain endurance test, every episode dives deep into the science of human potential.
Global Challenges with Personal Stakes
The series features unforgettable moments, including a live drum performance with GRAMMY® winner Ed Sheeran—something Chris had never done before. Each episode blends scientific discovery with personal growth as Chris opens up about his struggles and breakthroughs.
One standout sequence sees him confronting chronic pain head-on. In South Korea, he subjects himself to electrocution and pepper spray. While learning from elite soldiers who have mastered their pain response. In another episode, he scales sheer rock faces in Switzerland to tap into the benefits of calculated risk.
Where to Watch
Limitless: Live Better Now premieres August 15, 2025, on Disney+ and Hulu, and will debut on National Geographic August 25.
