Chris Hemsworth Returns to Limitless Season Two Despite Early Misgivings

Hemsworth built on his APOE4 disclosure to steer season two toward safer yet demanding wellbeing experiments.

Overview

  • Limitless season two launched on Disney+ on August 15 with three episodes that shift the series focus from lifespan extension to everyday wellbeing challenges, with National Geographic broadcasts planned.
  • Hemsworth revealed he initially resisted a second season after the first took a heavy emotional and physical toll on him.
  • During the first season he learned he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, a finding he has made central to this season’s exploration of brain health, pain management and resilience.
  • Season two gave him greater creative control, prompting production changes that scaled back extreme stunts in favor of expert-guided, safer experiments.
  • Alongside Limitless, Hemsworth has several film projects in varying stages, including Subversion with Lily James, Avengers: Doomsday and Crime 101, while rumors about a Transformers/GI Joe crossover and a Prince Charming movie remain unconfirmed.
