Years ago, ordinary Ameri- can couple Irene (Sissy Spacek, "Homecoming") and Frank York (J.K. Simmons, "Being the Ricar- dos," 2021) discovered a strange chamber buried deep in their backyard, which, incredibly and inexplicably, leads to a strange, deserted planet. They've kept their secret planet a secret all to themselves in the years since, until an enigmatic young man named Jude (Chai Hansen, "The 100") shows them that the hid- den chamber and the impossi- ble planet within are so much more than they could have ever imagined. A co-production be- tween Amazon Studios and Leg- endary Television, "Night Sky" is created by Holden Miller ("The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore") and directed by Shari Springer Berman ("Things Heard & Seen," 2021), Jessica Lowrey ("Heels"), Robert Pulci- ni ("American Splendor," 2003) and Juan José Campanella ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit").
