Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer and key art for its upcoming Constellation series, starring Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, You Won’t Be Alone, Lamb, What Happened to Monday) and Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul).
The eight-part conspiracy-based psychological thriller drama series will premiere globally on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, with the first three episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through March 27 on Apple TV+.
Created and written by Peter Harness (Wallander, The War of the Worlds), Constellation stars Rapace as Jo – an astronaut who returns to Earth after a disaster in space – only to discover that key pieces of her life seem to be missing.
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.
In addition to Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks, the series also stars James D’Arcy (Agent Carter, Oppenheimer), Julian Looman (Emily in Paris, The Mallorca Files), William Catlett (A Thousand and One, The Devil You Know), Barbara Sukowa (Voyager, Hannah Arendt), and introduces Rosie and Davina Coleman as Alice.
The show is directed by Emmy Award winner Michelle MacLaren (Shining Girls, The Morning Show, Breaking Bad), Oscar nominee Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall, The Experiment), and Oscar nominee Joseph Cedar (Footnote, Our Boys).
Produced by Turbine Studios and Haut et Court TV, the Constellation series is executive produced by David Tanner (Small Axe), Tracey Scoffield (Small Axe), Caroline Benjo (No Man’s Land), Simon Arnal (No Man’s Land), Carole Scotta (No Man’s Land) and Justin Thomson (Liaison).
