## Synopsis

Limitless: Live Better Now (2025) is a British and American documentary miniseries created by Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel, produced for Hulu and Disney+. Actor Chris Hemsworth serves as the on-screen host across three episodes of roughly forty-three minutes each, playing himself as he takes on demanding physical and mental challenges. Ed Sheeran also appears as himself in a single episode. Rather than following a fictional story, the series builds each episode around a personal experiment in which Hemsworth pushes his body into uncomfortable territory, from pain and risk to unfamiliar routines, while experts explain what the science reveals about human performance. The engine is simple: a famous, willing subject tests a claim about how we can all live better today, and the results carry real physical stakes. The tone is upbeat, practical and curious rather than clinical, with a sense of shared discovery. Its single-season, three-episode shape makes it an easy one-sitting watch. Viewers who enjoy celebrity-led science series such as Running Wild with Bear Grylls or the explanatory style of Cosmos will find a similar blend of spectacle and education.
