Night Sky

The streaming platform Amazon Prime Video teases yet another much anticipated new series, Night Sky with the release of its trailer. The makers released the trailer of the upcoming science-fiction drama, starring Academy Award winners Sissy Spacek (The Old Man and The Gun) and J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos), Chai Hansen (The Newsreader), Kiah McKirnan (Mare of Easttown), Julieta Zylberberg (The Invisible Look), Rocío Hernández (La caída) and Adam Bartley (Longmire).

Spanning space and time, the drama revolves around a couple Irene (Sissy Spacek) and Franklin York (J.K. Simmons). The trailer that was recently dropped opens with Irene telling her husband that she would like to reveal a secret that she hasn't told anybody else in her life. The couple is then seen heading to a secret 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.
