Director: Peter Harness
Constellation follows astronaut Jo Ericsson back to a home that no longer quite matches the one she left, unraveling a mystery that stretches from a damaged space station to the quiet corners of her own memory.
What is Constellation about?
After a catastrophic accident aboard the International Space Station, Jo Ericsson makes it back to Earth alive, but something has shifted around her. Small details in her house, her career, and her family don't line up with what she remembers, and the people closest to her seem to be hiding pieces of the story. As she pushes to understand what really happened up there, the series moves between the frozen isolation of her mission and the disorientation of her return, following classified experiments, a fellow cosmonaut with his own agenda, and a daughter who may hold the key to the truth. The eight-episode run builds its tension less through action than through accumulating unease, each answer opening a stranger question about what space travel actually cost her.
Cast & crew
Noomi Rapace anchors the series as Jo, playing the astronaut's fraying certainty with a physical, guarded intensity. Jonathan Banks brings a coiled, watchful presence to a scientist tangled up in the station's secrets, while James D'Arcy and Barbara Sukowa fill out a supporting cast that keeps the ground-level mystery just as tense as anything happening in orbit.
Context & significance
Created by Peter Harness, Constellation arrived in 2024 as a co-production spanning France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and it draws loosely on real questions about the psychological toll of long-duration spaceflight. Rather than framing space as pure spectacle, the show treats the ISS as a claustrophobic, almost haunted setting, using genuine mission details to ground its more unsettling turns.
Where & how to watch
Constellation streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and subtitles, so Farsi-speaking viewers can follow Jo's unraveling mystery in their own language from the very first episode. Watching requires a free K-Time account login; this page itself is open to read without one. The platform's Farsi interface is built with the Iranian diaspora audience in mind.
