CBS will develop the new drama series "Limitless," based on the blockbuster film starring Cooper, who is also attached as executive producer for the project. Oscar nominee Cooper will reportedly recur on the show, reprising his character from the film, Eddie Mora. Tony nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (The Winslow Boy, Man of La Mancha) is also among the cast. The show will center on Brian Finch, who, similar to Cooper's character in the movie, discovers the brain-boosting drug NZT. He is manipulated by the FBI into using his incredible abilities to solve difficult cases.

According to Deadline, Alexander, who famously played George Costanza in "Seinfeld," will play an award-winning psychotherapist who snaps one day and becomes increasingly strange. Because of his acclaim, his peers are unwilling to question his bizarre behavior and unconventional methods. Adult Swim is said to be making its pitch to advertisers currently.
