Chris Hemsworth returns for a second season of Disney+'s Limitless, and his quest for the fountain of youth. In the "Brain Power" episode, he tackles the aging of the mind. The Marvel star meets with cognitive scientist Dr. Maya Shankar to discuss the loss of brain cells as you age, but there's something he can do about that. Learn a new skill.
Limitless season 2 is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
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.
Synopsis
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.
