CBS’ ‘Limitless’ Gets A Lengthy New Featurette!

Briefly: Remember that clever (but semi-uninspired) 2011 film Limitless, based on the novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn?

The series is set to premiere on September 22nd, and the star of the original film, Bradley Cooper is even set to have a recurring role in the drama as Edward Morra, who is now a senator and will as a mentor to our new lead. He’s also an executive producer on the drama, and based on the trailer for the series and all of the buzz its garnering, I’m really looking forward to checking it out.

Today, a new featurette for the anticipated series debuted online. It clocks in at nearly four minutes, and includes interviews with Cooper, our new lead Jake McDorman, Jennifer Carpenter, as well as other cast and producers. They all sound genuinely excited for the show, and reveal some cool details about the production and what we can expect from this first season.

Limitless is a fast-paced drama about Brian Finch (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.

Take a look at the new featurette below, and let us know if you’ll be tuning in to the Limitless premiere on September 22nd!
