Constellation
Reality is a conspiracy.
Created by Peter Harness
On Apple TV
A high-concept sci-fi thriller that uses quantum mechanics and reality-bending to explore grief, identity, and the unreliability of perception through an astronaut's fractured return to Earth.
When a fatal accident occurs on board the International Space Station, a lone astronaut makes the heroic journey back to Earth, only to discover key pieces of her life—including her young daughter—have changed.
