One of the fall TV season’s most anticipated new series is Limitless, a revamped small-screen take on the Bradley Cooper blockbuster, and ET Canada’s Rick Campanelli caught up with Limitless star Jake McDorman on the red carpet at Comic-Con to discuss the show, which premieres on Global in September.
McDorman plays Brian Sinclair, a down-on-his-luck musician who unlocks the unlimited potential of the human brain when he pops a mysterious pill. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the same thing happened to Bradley Cooper’s character in the film, and Cooper will be reprising his role in the series on a recurring basis (he’s also an executive producer).
“The show is just an extension of the movie,” McDorman explains. “That was something that was really, really cool. If it was like remaking Limitless the film… that would be a lot different.”
Limitless premieres Tuesday, Sept. 22 on Global; until then, catch more of Rick’s interview with Jake McDorman on tonight’s ET Canada, airing at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Global.
