CBS has released the first trailer for the TV take on
director Neil Burger's 2011 film Limitless, which starred Bradley Cooper as
Eddie Morra, a smart but unmotivated writer, who after taking a drug called NZT
sees his life reaching levels of success he could have never foreseen. Still,
it is a drug, and what was great at first, quickly becomes a burden.
The series will star Jake McDorman as Brian Finch, who
after discovering the brain-enhancing drug is forced into putting his newly
found abilities by solving cases with the FBI.
Limitless also stars Jennifer Carpenter, Mary
Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Hill Harper, and Bradley Cooper
Mark Webb directed the pilot from a script by Craig Sweeny, and both will executive
produce the series alongside Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Heather Kadin,
Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips, Ryan Kavanaugh, Tucker Tooley and Tom Forman.
LIMITLESS, based on the feature film, is a fast-paced drama
about Brian Finch (Jake McDorman), who discovers the brain-boosting power of
the mysterious drug NZT and is coerced by the FBI into using his extraordinary
cognitive abilities to solve complex cases for them. Working closely with Brian
in the major case squad in New York City is Special Agent Rebecca Harris
(Jennifer Carpenter), a formidable investigator with a dark past, and Special
Agent Boyle (Hill Harper), a former military officer and Rebecca’s confidante.
They report to Special Agent in Charge Nasreen “Naz” Pouran (Mary Elizabeth
Mastrantonio), a canny manipulator of the reins of power. Unbeknownst to the
FBI, Brian also has a clandestine relationship with Senator Edward Mora
(Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper, recurring), a presidential hopeful and
regular user of NZT who has plans of his own for his new protégé. Fueled now
with a steady supply of NZT that enables him to use 100% of his brain capacity,
Brian is more effective than all of the FBI agents combined, making him a
criminal’s worst nightmare and the greatest asset the Bureau has ever
possessed.
