It was inevitable, really. Tech giant Apple and its Apple TV+ streaming service has emerged as the definitive home for the best original science fiction shows around, and its sci-fi catalogue is only going to get bigger with the launch of the upcoming series Constellation.
Home to everything from Severance, Foundation and Silo to Hello Tomorrow!, See and For All Mankind, Apple’s next big spacey psychological thriller, Constellation, will soon be hitting the platform.
Starring Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, What Happened to Monday) as Jo, an astronaut who’s returned to Earth after things have gone wrong in space, only to realise there are things missing from her life. It also stars Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul).
The first trailer for the eight-part conspiracy show debuted on 22 January, and, frankly, after several re-watches, we have no idea what is going on. A cerebral exploration of humanity, Apple says that “the action-packed space adventure is an exploration of the dark edges of human psychology, and one woman’s desperate quest to expose the truth about the hidden history of space travel and recover all that she has lost”.
Dropping in late February, here’s the release schedule for the upcoming thriller, and where you can watch Constellation for free in the UK.
