>The series follows Claire Reith (Riseborough), a biologist in a groundbreaking research project and the first woman to set foot on the moon, who disappears, throwing suspicion on her fellow astronauts and a rival Chinese base. Thousands of miles away on Earth, her husband, Ben (Ashley Walters), searches for the truth. The action switches between Mission Control and the lunar surface as the race against time builds.>The supporting cast includes Jimmy Akingbola as astronaut Dr. Henry Evans, in charge of the nuclear reactor that sustains life on the moon, and Fra Fee as astronaut Dr. Declan McAllister, whose bullish demeanor puts him at loggerheads with Claire. Kathryn Gallagher plays former NASA astronaut Lucy Miller, now working in Mission Control, while Christian Ochoa Lavernia plays Gabriel Ross, commander of the moon mission. Shazad Latif is Inesh Vidhani, the billionaire financing the space program, while Ben Miles is mission director Peter Talbot, a former astronaut now running Mission Control.https://deadline.com/2026/05/ben-miles-jimmy-akingbola-shazad-latif-first-woman-itv-zdf-1236884280/
>>220507882What will the first woman to set foot on the moon say when it happens IRL? We all know that the Artemis III will make the female astronaut on board be the first one to land/x/chizos claiming space or the lunar landing is fake can fuck off to their containment board
>>220507995why would you do this? i was having a good day.
>>220507882STRONK WOMYN
>>220507882I like how the concept of nuclear reactors on spaceships shifted from science fiction and something no serious countries even consider to something we plan before the next election cycle.
Why do they keep making shit movies about woman astronautsThe movies are never about being an astronaut and going to space, they just are an astronaut and something else happens
>>220507882>a biologist>woman>the moonthere's nothing there, is this some kind of "busy work"?

>a biologist in a groundbreaking research project and the first woman to set foot on the moon, who disappears,This sounds awful and we all know the plot twist will be aliens and making the tv series Missions but worse.>Jimmy Akingbola as astronaut Dr. Henry Evans, in charge of the nuclear reactor that sustains life on the moon>Christian Ochoa Lavernia plays Gabriel Ross, commander of the moon mission>Shazad Latif is Inesh Vidhani, the billionaire financing the space programJust why.>>220508066Probably some empowerment nonsense about how all the little girls of the world can go to space if they dream big enough.>>220508250I think the writers just don't know how to write a compelling story without falling back on tropes. Which is odd as this is their job and entire career.
>>220507882They should do a movie where a team of female astronauts are sent on a deep space mission but it turns out that the government sent them there to see if one of them gets pregnant but a lovecraft style alien god (that all the elites on Earth secretly worship)
>The first woman to bodily go where many men have gone before, only to immediately fuck it up and get lost.kekAnd they wonder why nobody gives a shit anymore.
>>220507882Is that Mandy? I didn't knew she was an actual actress outside that one movie.
