The fact that the show is coming out in September, six months after the coronavirus ravaged the U.S. and forced many into lockdown, has only made it more relevant, according to exec producerHe said that when the producers were forced to edit and do post-production on the drama at home, the show started to “resonate in a way that we had never imagined.”
“The idea of not being able to be with people who are the most important to you, the idea of making the most important life decisions, but not being able to be with your husband or wife or child when doing it. The idea of being stuck in a tin can for months and months and not being able to step out in the world is suddenly resonating in a new way,” he added.
Swank said that the production was more “physically challenging than I’d expected” and that the space suits were “no joke.” But she added that the show was more about “deep” and “layered” human beings than space. “I love that this commander of the mission to Mars is a woman and that’s not the drama of the story. That shows how far we’ve come towards equality. The drama was these richly, racial backgrounds, these people who are on this journey, working towards a goal together, while having this gravitational pull to Earth, these families that made it a love story,” she said.
As the crew’s journey into space intensifies, their personal dynamics and the effects of being away from their loved ones back on Earth become increasingly complex. It also stars Mark Ivanir, Vivian Wu, Ato Essandoh and Ray Panthaki.
