As a seasoned gamer and history enthusiast with a soft spot for Australian productions, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation when it comes to Jesse Spencer’s new venture – “Last Days of the Space Age.” Having grown up watching Spencer as Matt Daevers on Neighbours and more recently as Matthew Casey on Chicago Fire, it’s intriguing to see him step into a completely different role.
Hey there fellow gaming enthusiasts! Instead of my usual firefighter gear, I’ll be stepping into some groovy ’70s attire for the upcoming Hulu series, titled “Last Days of the Space Age“. Can’t wait to embark on this new cosmic adventure with y’all!
The narrative of this historical fiction unfolds in 1979 Australia, giving Spencer a chance to speak authentically, which greatly enriches the story. Often, we tend to concentrate on the American aspect of the Space Race. However, this tale also delves into the Soviet perspective. But what about the global standpoint? Isn’t it intriguing to explore other parts of the world during that time as well?
What to expect in Last Days of the Space Age
David Chidlow has presented us with this miniseries that delves into a period when Perth, Australia was dominating global news headlines. A power outage looms over Perth, potentially plunging the entire city into darkness, coinciding with the unintentional crash of the U.S. space station Skylab and the Miss Universe pageant in the suburbs.
In a closely bonded seaside neighborhood, three households face challenges beyond economic instability and political change. The ties that bind their relationships – be they familial or friendly – are being stretched to their limits as well.
In some marriages, such as that of Spencer’s Tony Bisset and Judy (portrayed by Radha Mitchell), we see cracks beginning to show. Tony’s decision to accept a job that jeopardizes his family’s well-being without informing his wife has caused her to doubt him. This deception, coupled with the escalating tensions in their area, is making it increasingly difficult for them to maintain trust and harmony.
When will Last Days of the Space Age arrive on Hulu?
In the mini-series “Last Days of the Space Age”, you’ll be able to watch all eight episodes at once starting from October 2nd on Hulu in the US. Internationally, the entire series will also become available on Disney+. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a space age binge-watching experience!
