Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service on March 17 announced that the Amazon Original series “Night Sky” (formerly titled “Lightyears”) will premiere all eight episodes exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Friday, May 20.
The series stars Academy Award winners Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons.
“Night Sky” follows Irene (Spacek) and Franklin York (Simmons), a couple who, years ago, discovered a chamber buried in their backyard that inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet. They’ve carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when an enigmatic young man (Chai Hansen) 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.
