There was never a doubt that Bradley Cooper would reprise his role of Sen. Edward Morra on CBS's new series Limitless after making his debut in the premiere, and now CBS has announced the actor's official return date.

The network revealed Friday that Cooper would be back on the show in episode 6, "Side Effects May Include...," which airs October 27th. In the forthcoming episode, Morra asks for a high price when Brian (Jake McDorman) needs another inoculation to help how the NZT is affecting his mental and physical health.The involvement of Cooper, who also executive produces the series, is one of the main reasons it was positioned as a sequel. "We knew Bradley Cooper was going to be involved," EP Craig Sweeny said at summer TCA Press Tour . "And so it seemed like, if we wanted the option of having him on screen, we shouldn't recast the role of Eddie Morra, and that informed the show to a certain extent. But I think we would have done it that way regardless because part of what's appealing about this particular property is that the McGuffin of the NZT pills is infinite. So why not tell the story of somebody else's interaction with this drug?"Limitless's first episodes have been strong as Brian tries to maintain his ties with the FBI while also conceding to Morra's demands. The series is a continuation of the 2011 movie Limitless that Cooper starred in. Limitless airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.
