In this thrilling three-part series from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa, Jane Root's Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson's Wild State, Chris pushes himself further than ever — both physically and mentally — as he confronts some of life's most universal challenges: pain, fear and cognitive decline.

Filmed across six countries over two years, Chris 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 GRAMMY Award-winner Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans; scales a dizzying 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 transformative 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."

Each part of LIMITLESS: LIVE BETTER NOW unpacks new science with real-world relevance:

"BRAIN POWER": Inspired by the benefits of learning a new skill, which aids memory and cognitive function, Chris Hemsworth takes up drumming. When he is invited to join Ed Sheeran onstage at a stadium concert, Chris has just months to master the instrument and conquer his nerves to perform in front of 70,000 fans. It's a challenge that pushes him beyond his limits.

"RISK": Chris Hemsworth pushes his limits by attempting to climb a 600-foot Alpine dam in the Swiss Alps. Inspired by his children's carefree risk-taking, Chris learns from experts how exposure therapy and Flow — a state of hyperfocus — can improve mental and physical health, showing how taking risks as adults can lead to a happier, healthier life.

"PAIN": Chris Hemsworth sets out to confront his chronic pain in a bold, immersive journey through South Korea. Guided by pain expert Dr. BJ Miller, he explores ancient healing traditions and cutting-edge science. Chris faces "pain valley" in the final test, a brutal gauntlet of Special Forces trials that will push him to his limits.

In August 2024, National Geographic released a video capturing the climax of Chris's brain-boosting challenge: performing "Thinking Out Loud" on stage with his friend Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans in Bucharest, Romania, during Sheeran's "+–=÷x" tour. Now, viewers can witness the full journey in the series' first episode, "Brain Power," as Chris learns to play the drums from scratch with Parkway Drive's Ben Gordon. This unforgettable moment has garnered nearly 35 million views across Chris', Ed's and Nat Geo's social accounts. A global sensation, Season 1 of LIMITLESS ranks as National Geographic's No. 2 most-watched streaming series ever, drawing nearly half its audience from international viewers.
