The space-based projects just keep on launching! Kristen Stewart will be buckling up for a simulated voyage into space for her upcoming Prime Video limited series playing Sally Ride, America’s first woman in orbit and a pivotal figure in the government's Challenger Disaster investigation.
The series was first revealed in 2024, but it's taken nearly two years for Amazon to officially greenlight the project. Created by series showrunner/executive producer Maggie Cohn ("The Staircase," "American Crime Story") and directed by James Hawes ("Slow Horses," "Black Mirror"), "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."
