His character, now a senator climbing his way to become President of the United States, mentors a guy who just came across NZT.

The story in the TV version, however, will focus on the new guy named Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) who is coerced into using his newfound drug-enhanced abilities to solve weekly cases for the FBI.

Neil Burger who directed the movie was initially attached to helm the pilot but he had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict with Showtime’s “Billions”.
