Chris Hemsworth and his producing partner Ben Grayson have launched a brand new multiplatform production company, called Wild State, and they’ve signed a new first-look deal with National Geographic for all unscripted projects in the areas of adventure, exploration, travel and science for all of the network’s platforms and National Geographic-produced Disney+ Originals.

The production company has several properties ready to go out to market across unscripted, scripted and brand projects.

Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson said in a statement to THR:

“As lifelong fans of National Geographic, we are thrilled to be able to continue and deepen our partnership with them along with the entire Disney+ platform. Wild State is dedicated to generating immersive narratives that both entertain and shine a light on important issues around the globe. We’re grateful for the opportunity to tell highly impactful, important stories in the unscripted space backed by the support of the premier global conservation and environmental brand in Nat Geo.”

Tom McDonald, executive vice president of Global Factual and Unscripted Programming for National Geographic Content said in a statement:

“Chris and Ben have been exceptional partners to work with, dedicated to creating and producing the most gripping unscripted programming. We’re thrilled to be entering into this long-term partnership with Wild State and can’t wait to build the next generation of blockbuster factual content with them.

One of the first new releases on Disney+ will be “Limitless With Chris Hemsworth”, which is a new six-episode series.  This series has been created by Darren Aronofsky and hailing from his production company Protozoa Pictures and Jane Root’s Nutopia. New scientific research is shattering conventional wisdom about the human body and offering fascinating insights into how we can all unlock our body’s superpowers to fight illness, perform better and even reverse the aging process! This science is put to the test by Hemsworth, who, despite being in peak superhero-condition, is on a personal mission to learn how to stay young, healthy, strong, and resilient. Undergoing a series of epic trials and extraordinary challenges in order to understand the limits of the human body, he’ll learn firsthand how we can live better for longer by discovering ways to regenerate damage, maximize strength, build resilience, supercharge memory and confront mortality. Entertaining, immersive and life-changing, “Limitless” rewrites the rulebook on living better for longer.
