'The First': Executive producer Jordan Tappis beaks down the look, feel and sound of Hulu's Mars mission drama

In this detailed interview with Meaww, Jordan Tappis breaks down the sleek, futuristic look and feel of Hulu's Sean Penn-starring original drama series 'The First'.

Hulu's original drama series 'The First' presents a unique perspective on the sci-fi space-faring genre. Created and executive produced by Beau Willimon (House of Cards), along with his producing partner Jordan Tappis under their Westward Production banner, the show takes place in the near future and follows the first human mission to Mars, exploring the challenges of taking the first steps toward interplanetary colonization.

But instead of hurrying straight into the exosphere, 'The First' takes its time firmly grounded to Earth as we delve deep into the characters who bring the show to life - focusing on the relationships between the crew, their families and loved ones and the trepidations of taking on an unprecedented journey.
