CBS has just announced that their show Limitless will receive a full 22-episode season. The show, which stars Jake McDorman, is based off the 2011 film starring Bradley Cooper. The story follows a similar tale to the film in which a 28-year-old nobody, Brian Finch (McDorman) discovers the powerful drug NZT-48. This drug enables him the ability to recall everything he’s ever read and provides him with near unlimited focus, among other things. This series, as well as the film, are based off the book “The Dark Fields,” with the events of the show taking place after the film.
