Part global scientific adventure, part personal journey, the new original Disney+ series follows Chris as he takes up a gauntlet of physical and mental feats. Designed by world-class experts, scientists and doctors, each meticulously crafted challenge is rooted in game-changing science, drawing on new research and crushing long-held traditions. Chris’ mission is to better understand the limits of the human body and discover cutting-edge techniques men can use to improve their health and enhance their lives.

Chris didn’t want to just talk about the scientific theories, he wanted to go big and test them for real! His epic challenges include swimming 800 feet across a 36-degree Arctic fjord, climbing a 100-foot rope dangling over a canyon, and walking along a crane atop a 900-foot-tall skyscraper–80 stories high. Each challenge pushes Chris to the limit, demonstrating ways we can all extend our health and combat ageing. Each challenge required an authentic training and immersion program, including some that needed months of preparation.
