The scientific series will see Hemsworth undergo a number of challenges that will explore different ways humans can live longer.


The show will then follow the 36-year-old actor as he discovers how to live a healthier and smarter life by transforming himself through six physical and mental challenges around the world.


Each episode will tackle a different technique that is to help extend human life like regenerating damage, shocking the body, and supercharging memory.


"Basically, I was somehow convinced to volunteer myself as a human guinea pig and endure a series of mental and physical challenges across the globe, all for the sake of science," Hemsworth said in a statement.


"We're hoping to shed some light on new ideas and emerging science with the focus on extending a healthy life span. Production starts soon, so wish me luck," he added.


The ‘Avengers: Endgame’ star will also executive produce the show alongside Ben Grayson, Jane Root and Arif Nurmohamed of Nutopia, Matt Renner and Bengt Anderson.


Ruth Shurman will serve as the showrunner.
