Hulu released today the official trailer for Last Days of the Space Age, a new drama series from Australia, starring Radha Mitchell and Jesse Spencer. Check it out.
Set in 1979, when history is at a turning point and everything is about to change, Last Days of the Space Age follows three families in a tight-knit coastal community in Perth.
Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is at the center of the world’s headlines: It’s about to host the iconic Miss Universe pageant, creating a media frenzy around the global beauty pageant contest. Ditto news outlets tripping over themselves to cover the US space station, Skylab, as it crashes just beyond Perth’s suburbs. Then there’s a power strike, which threatens to plunge the region into darkness.
Against this backdrop of international cultural and political shifts, these three seemingly ordinary families will soon find their marriages, friendships, and futures put to the test in a city that will never be the same.
Last Days of the Space Age, a Hulu Original series, premieres in the US on Wednesday, October 2, exclusively on Hulu. The series launches internationally on the same date on Disney+.
The eight-part series stars Radha Mitchell (Troppo, Neighbours), Jesse Spencer (Chicago Fire, House), Deborah Mailman (Total Control, Offspring), Linh-Dan Pham (Mythomaniac, Mr. Nobody), Iain Glen (Game of Thrones, Jack Taylor), George Mason (My Life Is Murder, Top of the Lake), Vico Thai (Total Control, Rake), Ines English (Dead Lucky, Dance Academy: The Movie), Jacek Koman (Faraway Downs, Jack Irish), Mackenzie Mazur (Encounter, Sapphire), Emily Grant (RFDS, Pearly Gates), Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High, RFDS), and Aidan Du Chiem.
A production of Princess Pictures, Last Days of the Space Age is created and written by David Chidlow (Moving On, Hidden), along with writers Alice Addison (The Principal), Dot West (The Circuit), Jeremy Nguyen (Hungry Ghosts), and Alan Nguyen (Hungry Ghosts).
