Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki) is leading a BBC sci-fi drama about space travel.

Mbatha-Raw will star alongside Stuart Martin (Army of Thieves, In Flight, Rebel Moon) and Iain De Caestecker (Roadkill, The Winter King, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) in Sutherland, which is set in a near future in the far north of Scotland.

Mbatha-Raw is Mirren, who works at Paravel Space Hub as flight director for the UK’s first crewed mission to the stars. Everything is going to plan when, just hours after launch, a series of unexplained events engulf Sutherland in mystery and risks destroying everything Mirren’s been striving for.  

The show is timely, coming a few days after the Artemis II rocket returned from the moon. Apple TV, meanwhile, is soon to launch Soviet space drama Star City.
