Launched in February on Apple TV+, the series Constellation has been talked about in more than one way. This explosive psychological thriller stars actress Noomi Rapace (Black Crab on Netflix) as Jo, an astronaut who returns to Earth after a disaster in space and discovers that key elements of her life seem to have disappeared. This cosmic adventure, which explores the depths of human psychology, also features renowned actors such as Jonathan Banks (breaking Bad), James D’Arcy and Julian Looman. For American writer Stephen King, absolute reference in horror and fantasy, the series is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately, this dubbing was not enough to allow Constellation to get a season 2.
