Chris Hemsworth Faces Fears in Trailer for ‘Limitless: Live Better Now’
Following on the heels of 2022’s Limitless With Chris Hemsworth, the three-part National Geographic series is back for its second go-around with Limitless: Live Better Now, releasing later this summer.
Chris Hemsworth is back on his mission to uncover how to live a longer and better life. In the trailer, he faces three science-backed, high-stakes challenges to sharpen his mind and body. Hemsworth is shown scaling a frozen 600-foot climbing walls in the Swiss Alps, training with the South Korean Special Forces and even playing the drums for an Ed Sheeran concert.
Back in August of 2024, Hemsworth surprised 70,000 fans in Bucharest, Romania by playing the drums for the Grammy-winning artist on The +–=÷× tour. Hemsworth, who, prior to preparing for the concert, had never picked up drumsticks, played the instrument for the track “Thinking Out Loud.”
Over the course of two years and six countries, Hemsworth has enlisted the help of doctors, cognitive scientists, MMA fighters and more on his journey to confront pain, fear and cognitive decline.
“Making this series has been a life-changing journey. I’ve discovered so much about my own health, resilience and what it really means to live well,” said Hemsworth. “I hope this next chapter inspires audiences to step outside their comfort zones and embrace challenges, because the impact it’s had on my life has been truly profound.”

Joining the executive producer team are creators Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel of Protozoa, and Chris Hemsworth, Ben Grayson and Brandon hill represent Wild State.
