Limitless with Chris Hemsworth Season 2 coming to Disney+ in August
July 17, 2025
Following the international success of Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, where the Hollywood star explored how to live longer, Chris Hemsworth is returns=ing with a bold new mission: discovering how we can all live better.
In the newly titled Limitless: Live Better Now, Hemwsorth dives into three high-stakes challenges that promise real, immediate ways to sharpen our minds and strengthen our bodies. All episodes will stream from August 15th on Disney+.
In this three-part series from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa, Jane Root’s Nutopia, and Hemsworth and Ben Grayson’s Wild State, Hemwsorth pushes himself further than ever — both physically and mentally — as he confronts some of life’s most universal challenges: pain, fear and cognitive decline. The trailer can be viewed here.
Filmed across six countries over two years, Hemsworth tests his limits by drawing from cutting-edge science and the wisdom of elders to push himself like never before. With no previous experience, he learns to play the drums for a live performance with music icon Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans; scales a 600-foot climbing wall in the Swiss Alps to break out of his comfort zone and embrace risk; and takes part in South Korean Special Forces training, enduring electrocution and pepper spray to confront his long struggle with chronic pain and reconfigure his response to it — all to uncover tools we can use today to live healthier, happier lives.
Joining him on this journey are returning expert Dr. BJ Miller, a renowned palliative care physician, plus a powerful lineup of inspiring voices, including cognitive scientist Dr Maya Shankar, Parkway Drive drummer Ben Gordon, neuroscientist and Professor Abigail Marsh, free solo climber and wingsuiter Steph Davis, former members of South Korea’s military, MMA fighter Kim Dong-hyun, freestyle motocross legend Robbie Maddison and more. Together, they offer fresh insights into how we can build stronger minds, bodies and connections.
“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.”
Season 1 of Limitless ranks as National Geographic’s No. 2 most-watched streaming series ever, drawing nearly half its audience from international viewers.
