LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Apple TV+'s upcoming series, 'Constellation,' which is slated for release on Wednesday, February 21, is a fictional story that draws inspiration from real-life stories.

The eight-part genre-blending series, written and developed by Peter Harness, tells the narrative of a female astronaut who encounters strange events as she returns from her space adventure. 

'Constellation' draws influence from a real-world space station

The Soviet Union's space station Salyut 7, which was active from 1982 to 1991, serves as an inspiration to the Apple TV+'s series owing to its fascinating background.

Throughout the operation, the astronauts on board encountered unusual and difficult-to-explain phenomena.

Due to a medical problem, the crew was forced to return to Earth in 1985, leaving it uninhabited until it was reactivated.

Furthermore, the space station also faced catastrophic power failures throughout its operations, one of which occurred in 1984, when a massive outage resulted in a loss of communication and critical functions for many days.

Allegedly, the personnel on board reported hearing some mysterious noises and experiencing a peculiar atmosphere at the station.

'Constellation' promises to be a genre-bending experience

The series will be a combination of psychological thrillers and science fiction, with Noomi Rapace playing the titular character, Jo.

The action-packed story follows Jo, who returns from a space mission after a calamity and discovers that her home, Earth, does not seem the same since she has missed significant chunks of her life.

The narrative will follow Jo's journey to uncover the truth about space travel and her effort to reclaim what she has lost.

'Constellation' will premiere on Apple TV+ on February 21st, with new episodes out on Wednesdays.
