The Right Stuff: The Television Series (Now coming to Disney+)

Holy shite! I had no idea this was a thing. I'm so freaking excited about it. If it does well...maybe it'll expand and cover projects Gemini and Apollo before signing off the air.

The Right Stuff is making a landing at Disney+ this fall. National Geographic‘s scripted drama series, based on Tom Wolfe’s bestselling nonfiction account of the early days of NASA, has found a home at Disney+, which will debut the eight-episode TV series this fall.

Disney+ announced that National Geographic’s The Right Stuff TV series will premiere on the streaming service this fall. Produced for National Geographic by Appian Way and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, The Right Stuff adapts Tom Wolfe’s nonfiction novel about the early days of NASA, which was first turned into an acclaimed 1983 feature film directed by Philip Kaufman. This eight-episode scripted series is billed as a “clear-eyed look at what would become America’s first ‘reality show,'” that will dive further into the lives of the “ambitious astronauts and their families become instant celebrities in a competition that could kill them or make them immortal,” according to the Disney+ press release.
