Amazon Prime Video's latest sci-fi drama, Night Sky, is set to release this week. Created by Holden Miller and Daniel C. Connolly, the show revolves around an elderly couple, Franklin and Irene York, who've discovered a secret path that leads to a bizarre, secluded planet.
It stars Whiplash actor J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek in the lead roles. The series is directed by Juan José Campanella, widely known for directing the Oscar-winning Argentinian film, The Secret in Their Eyes.
Apart from the Argentinian thriller, Campanella has also directed episodes of several acclaimed American television shows, including House, 30 Rock, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Ed. The official synopsis of the show on Amazon Prime Video reads:
''Irene and Frank York, a retired couple, have a secret: a Chamber buried in their backyard that miraculously leads to a strange, deserted planet. When an enigmatic young man arrives, the Yorks' quiet existence is upended, and the mysterious Chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could have ever imagined.''
