DESCRIPTION:
(from Disney+'s press release, May 2022) "Last Days of the Space Age" is an eight-part dramedy series set in 1979 Western Australia, when Perth was at the centre of the world's headlines. A power strike threatens to plunge the region into darkness, while the city hosts the iconic Miss Universe pageant and the US space station, Skylab, crashes just beyond the city's suburbs. Against this backdrop of international cultural and political shifts, three families in a tight-knit coastal community find their marriages, friendships, and futures put to the test. "Last Days of the Space Age" is produced by Princess Pictures and directed by Bharat Nalluri (Shantaram, Little America, Spooks, The 100). The series is created and written by David Chidlow (Moving On, Hidden) along with writers Alice Addison (The Silence, The Devil's Playground, Picnic at Hanging Rock), Dot West (The Heights), and Jeremy Nguyen & Alan Nguyen (Hungry Ghosts). Laura Waters (Summer Heights High, My Year 12 Life), Emma Fitzsimons (Koala Man, Wrong Kind of Black), Chris Loveall (Nautilus, Fortitude, Please Like Me), Stephanie Swedlove (Everything's Gonna Be Okay, Please Like Me) and Anna Dokoza (Kevin Can F**k Himself, Special) serve as Executive Producers and Christine Pham (The Unsettling, Please Like Me) is producing the series. An incredible cast is being assembled including Radha Mitchell (Man on Fire, Olympus Has Fallen, Looking for Grace), Jesse Spencer (Chicago Fire, House, Uptown Girl), Deborah Mailman (Total Control, The Sapphires, Offspring), and Linh-Dan Pham (Or de lui, Mythomaniac, Blue Bayou).
