IRENE (SISSY SPACEK) and Franklin York (JK Simmons) are harbouring a secret in Night Sky - a cosmicsized secret. The TV series centres on the elderly married couple, who years ago uncovered a chamber in their backyard. This otherworldly structure grants them access to a strange, deserted planet, which they periodically visit and observe from within the safety of the device.
Showrunner and co-creator Daniel C Connolly explains that "a big part of the show is the co-existence of the fantastical and mundane in our lives. We wanted to do a very character-driven and closely observed drama that also has this sci-fi element that filters into the series," he tells Red Alert. "We think that's something you don't see a lot of. God bless all the science fiction. They can be big and stylised and contain a lot of whizz-bang. I love to watch that stuff too. But I think there is a big tent in the sci-fi world. We tried to carve out this little corner for ourselves that put the character stuff front and centre. Then we added this special magical and mysterious element to the storytelling, where the sci-fi hopefully feels organic and grounded, and sits with the rest of the sensibility of the show."

True Detective - The Only Way Is Essex for Jessica Jones in Lisa Jewell's first Marvel Crime novel
Known for bestselling psychological thrillers such as Then She Was Gone and The Family Upstairs, Jewell says she initially overemphasised the Marvel Universe’s fantastical elements before realising that she should simply trust her natural instincts. “I went too far on many occasions and had to keep cutting stuff out because I’d end up with stuff like a huge underground lab full of mad scientists,” she laughs.
