[TV] The First

[SFI]

Beau Willimon – the man behind Netflix's House of Cards – is making a new extra-terrestrial series for Channel 4.

The First is set in the near-future about the first human mission to Mars and will explore the challenges of interplanetary colonisation with a human story at its heart.

“It’s a story about the human spirit,” said Willimon. “About our indomitable need to reach for unknown horizons. About people working toward the greatest pioneering achievement in human history. And about the cost of that vision, the danger and sacrifice – emotional, psychological, and physical – that’s required to achieve it.
