Limitless is an American comedy-drama television series based on the 2011 film of the same name, which originally aired on CBS from September 22, 2015, to April 26, 2016.[1][2][3][4] It stars Jake McDorman as Brian Finch, who discovers the power of a mysterious nootropic drug by the name of NZT-48. This drug unlocks the full potential of the human brain and gives its user enhanced mental faculties.

It is a spin-off to the film of the same name, which in turn was based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields, and takes place four years after the events of the movie.

The series was ordered by CBS on May 8, 2015. On October 23, 2015, CBS picked up Limitless for a full season of 22 episodes.[5] On May 18, 2016, CBS confirmed Limitless would not be part of the network's 2016–2017 lineup, and on May 25, 2016, CBS executive Craig Sweeny announced the series had been cancelled after one season.[6]

Premise

Brian Finch (McDorman), a 28-year-old burnout and struggling musician, is introduced to NZT-48, a miracle drug that gives him access to every neuron in his brain. For twelve hours after taking the pill, he becomes the smartest person in the world, able to perfectly recall every detail of his life and capable of prodigious leaps of intuition and reasoning. With the mysterious US Senator Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) providing him with an immunity shot to counteract NZT's deadly side effects, Brian uses his enhanced abilities to help FBI agent Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter). The FBI doesn't know about the shot and Brian has to struggle to keep both worlds separate.

When his father becomes seriously ill, Brian Finch realises he has not reached the goals that he had set for his life.

When Brian finds Eli dead from a gunshot, he becomes the main suspect in an FBI murder investigation. Looking for more NZT, Brian tracks down one of Eli's coworkers and gets shot in the leg by the real murderer. He passes out, and awakes to find himself with Senator Eddie Morra, who offers him access to both NZT and a drug to counter its dangerous side effects, on the condition that he will not tell the FBI. The FBI wants to find out who created NZT and how to counter the side effects, and FBI agent Rebecca Harris offers Brian a consultant position with the Bureau. Brian insists that they first help his father get an immediate liver transplant. Agent Harris reveals a personal reason behind her involvement in the investigation: she suspects that her father was using NZT before he was found dead in a river.

He eventually tracks down Andrew Epperly, a Ubient scientist who received the NZT formula anonymously, and tried it on his father, who was suffering from Alzheimer's, as well as on several others, including Rebecca's father. Rebecca confronts Epperly and he reveals he faked his death after NZT started circulating on the streets. Finally, Morra gives Brian the shot and five extra NZT pills.
