“Will you be careful out there?” “Always.” Those are the famous last words that kick off Constellation, Apple TV+’s psychological thriller – and a new trailer gives us a first look at the series.

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) star in the eight-part series, which follows 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.

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, the drama is created and written by Peter Harness (Wallander, The War of the Worlds).

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 series is directed by Michelle MacLaren (Shining Girls, The Morning Show, Breaking Bad), Oscar nominee Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall, The Experiment) and Joseph Cedar (Footnote, Our Boys).

It premieres on 21st February 2024 with the first three episodes arriving together – followed by weekly episodes until the finale on 27th March. Here’s the trailer:

Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks are heading to Apple TV+ for new psychological thriller series Constellation.

The conspiracy-based drama is created and written by Peter Harness (The War of the Worlds, Doctor Who, Wallander) and will be directed by Emmy Award winner Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad).

Rapace will star as Jo, a woman 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, one woman’s desperate quest to expose the truth about the hidden history of space travel and recover all that she has lost.

Co-produced by Turbine Studios and Haut et Court TV, the executive producers are 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”).

Harness will executive produce through Haunted Barn Ltd.

This marks the third series collaboration for Apple TV+ and MacLaren, who serves as director and executive producer on upcoming Apple Original series Shining Girls, as well as The Morning Show.
