Amazon Studios describes the plot synopsis as follows,
“Spanning space and time, Night Sky follows Irene (Spacek) and Franklin York (Simmons), a couple who, years ago, discovered a chamber buried in their backyard which inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet. They’ve carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when an enigmatic young man (Chai Hansen, The Newsreader) enters their lives, the Yorks’ quiet existence is quickly upended…and the mystifying chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could ever have imagined.”
Holden Miller, Jimmy Miller, Sam Hansen, and Philip Martin will serve as executive producers with Connolly. Miller will also serve as a writer for the show.
