Next month, Apple TV+ is meshing conspiracies, action, adventure, and drama in its upcoming new series Constellation. Described as a “conspiracy-based psychological thriller drama,” Constellation follows a woman on a quest to piece her life back together. The series will be eight episodes, with the first three debuting on Wednesday, February 21, on Apple TV+. The remaining episodes will release weekly until the finale on March 27. Ahead of the show’s premiere, Apple TV+ has released the official trailer.
Constellation centers on Jo (Noomi Rapace), an astronaut who recently made it back to Earth following a space disaster. Though Jo is mostly okay, she soon realizes that important parts of her life are missing. So, she embarks on an action-filled journey to piece together what’s happened to her. Along the way, she uncovers more about the history of space travel, bringing viewers into the darker side of the human psyche as she attempts to “recover all that she has lost.”
The trailer begins by offering some more insight on Jo’s life, mainly how she has a family waiting for her back on Earth. Their reunion may seem a happy one, but the tone remains a bit eerie, leading into how Jo’s life has become different following the accident. Her life isn’t missing pieces due to memory loss — not really. Instead, aspects of Jo’s life are entirely different, including, potentially, her daughter. As the trailer continues, it suggests that something extraterrestrial could be involved, but not necessarily in the way viewers may initially think. It seems space holds the answer to Jo’s dilemma, though it leaves a trail of questions behind.
