New Amazon Sci-fi series Night Sky features screen icon Sissy Spacek (Picture: Amazon Prime)
Amazon’s Prime Video is taking a trip to space with two legendary actors, Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons, along for the ride.
Writer Holden Miller has described the show as ‘experiencing something incredibly momentous, but from a place that feels like it’s your own bedroom.’
With acting greats Sissy and JK in the lead roles, Night Sky looks like it could be the gorgeous summer sci-fi series we need for that escapism hit.
Here’s what we know about this new sci-fi adventure about space travel, mortality, and love, including when it will air in the UK…
What is Night Sky about?
‘Spanning space and time, Night Sky follows Irene and Franklin York, a couple who, years ago, discovered a chamber buried in their backyard which inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet,’ read a previous description of the series.

‘They’ve carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when an enigmatic young man enters their lives, the Yorks’ quiet existence is quickly upended… and the mystifying chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could ever have imagined.’
Writer Holden describes the ‘emotionally serious’ having warmth and a humour and an escapist quality.’
Consider us intrigued.
