Kristen Stewart will be buckling up for a simulated voyage into space for her upcoming Prime Video limited series playing, but it's taken nearly two years for Amazon to officially greenlight the project. Created by series showrunner/executive producer Maggie Cohn and directed by James Hawes ,"The Challenger" is adapted from Meredith E. Bagby's"The New Guys: The Historic Class of Astronauts That Broke Barriers and Changed the Face of Space Travel." Stewart is mostly known for her role in"The Twilight Saga" and its sparkly vampires, but her eclectic body of work includes gems like the spooky thriller"Personal Shopper" and the deeply underrated sci-fi flick,"Underwater." Now she'll be zipping up a spacesuit, playing a true American icon and NASA legend. We chat with legendary space shuttle commander Eileen Collins about her new documentary, 'Spacewoman' 'An incredible privilege and responsibility': Artemis 2's Christina Koch is ready to become the 1st woman to fly around the moon The 2023 book that this series is based on centered around NASA's barrier-busting 1978 class of astronauts, which included Sally Ride."'The Challenger' tells the gripping story of one of the most defining moments in space history, both the unprecedented events leading up to the tragedy, and the shocking investigation that followed," states the official Prime Video description. "As the members of the 1986 Rogers Commission interrogate the complex inner workings of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to find what, or who, was responsible for the Challenger's doomed fate, the show explores Commission member Sally Ride’s personal journey." On June 18, 1983, Dr. Sally Ride made history as a flight engineer aboard the space shuttle Challenger during the STS-7 mission that deployed a pair of satellites. Her second flight occurred on Oct. 5, 1984, on the STS-41G, where she and the crew conducted Earth observations for eight days. Ride sadly passed away July 23, 2012, at the age of 61, following a battle with a terminal illness."Sally Ride's courage and brilliance changed history, and we couldn’t imagine a more powerful actor to bring her story to life than Kristen Stewart," said Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios.Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more!Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors And it just wouldn’t be a 21st-century entertainment project without an entire platoon of additional executive producers.
