Bradley Cooper Will Appear in TV Adaption of LIMITLESS on CBS: Here's the First Trailer

When Bradley Cooper starred in 2011's Limitless, he was just the guy who had led The Hangover. The actor will return to Limitless as a three-time Oscar nominee when he appears in CBS' adaption of the movie.

The Limitless TV show will expand on the world built in the original movie, with Cooper's NZT-popping senator having a recurring role. The series will focus on Brian Finch, a new character played by Jake McDorman. After discovering NZT himself, Finch begins working with the FBI to solve crimes.

Based on the trailer for Limitless, it looks like the show is going to treat the miracle pill as a superpower that Finch calls on when he needs it, as opposed to the way Cooper's Edward Mora pretty much made NZT's power a part of himself in the movie.



Cooper will guest star in the Limitless pilot. According to Deadline, he'll continue to appear on the show as much as his busy schedule allows. The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb helms the pilot.

Limitless will air on Tuesdays as part of CBS' fall lineup.
