When many people who actually have a back garden venture out there, there's usually a crusty old shed and possibly a few forlorn plants dotted around a patchy lawn. But for Irene and Franklin York (Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons) there's a portal leading to a seemingly deserted planet. Which is nice. See the trailer for Prime Video's new thriller series Night Sky...
Years ago, the Yorks discovered a chamber buried in their backyard which inexplicably leads to a strange planet. They’ve carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when an enigmatic young man 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.
Given the presence of a strange, buried chamber, the comparisons to Lost are inevitable, but hopefully Night Sky will avoid some of its pitfalls.
With Chai Hansen, Kiah McKirnan, Julieta Zylberberg, Rocío Hernández and Adam Bartley also in the cast, Night Sky kicks off with all eight episodes of Season 1 on Prime Video on 20 May.
