T10 WHATS UP! July 3 - 9, 2022 and scariest world so far — Justin and Faraday find them- selves facing down everything from their original troubles to the prying eyes of the CIA. This week, as the series ap- proaches its first-season fina- le, that government organiza- tion appears to be the biggest immediate threat the pair have to face; so much so that view- ers are almost likely to forget about the larger pending doom afoot for (at least) two planets. It is important to note that "The Man Who Fell to Earth" has neither been canceled nor renewed for a second season as of writing, thus leading fans of the show to ask more ques- tions regarding what is to come. Of course, the overarching question is, "Will Justin and Faraday succeed in saving Earth and Anthea?," but curi- ous minds are also apt to won- der if and how Faraday will be able to return to his family. Af- ter all, he is becoming increas- ingly more "human" as the se- ries progresses. Those who've read Tevis's source material might also wonder just how similar the storylines will be. And if show- runners Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet (both of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds") plan to stay fairly faithful to the original story, can they wrap it all up in this final epi- sode? Will there be enough for another season or two should CBS decide to give it the green light yet again? Regardless of the answers to these questions, it's the ques- tions "The Man Who Fell to Earth" begs of ourselves that may hold the most weight overall. An exploration of grief, loss, helplessness, love and the feeling of doom that has become more present than ever in today's pandemic-af- flicted society, this series has had viewers hooked from its opening shot. Also starring Bill Nighy ("Love Actually," 2003), Jimmi Simpson ("Westworld"), Clarke Peters ("The Wire") and Annelle Olaleye ("Domi- na") across each of its 10 hour- long episodes, "The Man Who Fell to Earth" is directed by Kurtzman, Joss Agnew ("Pol- dark"), Sarah Harding ("Vi- kings") and Olatunde Osun- sanmi ("Star Trek: Discovery"). Find out what is destined for Faraday, Justin and their respec- tive planets when the Season 1 finale of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" airs Sunday, July 3, on Showtime. It is also available to stream on ViacomCBS's Para- mount+ streaming service. continued from page T2 Down 'to Earth': Ejiofor-led sci-fi series wraps premiere season TV FEATURE 5 x 5 Naomie Harris and Annelle Olaleye in "The Man Who Fell to Earth"
