What would you do if you found a strange space portal in your garden? That’s the question at the heart of Night Sky, starring Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons – and a new trailer gives us a first look at the drama.

The eight-part series follows Irene (Sissy Spacek) and Franklin York (J.K. Simmons), a couple who, years ago, discovered a chamber buried in their backyard which inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet. 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.

Written and co-executive produced by Holden Miller, with Daniel C Connolly serving as showrunner and executive producer, it premieres on 20th May, with all episodes released at once.
