It was inevitable, really. Tech giant Apple and its Apple TV+ streaming service has emerged as the definitive home for the best original science fiction shows around, and its sci-fi catalogue has just got bigger with the launch of Constellation.

Home to everything from Severance, Foundation and Silo to Hello Tomorrow!, See and For All Mankind, Constellation is Apple’s next big spacey psychological thriller.

The show stars Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, What Happened to Monday) as Jo, an astronaut who has returned to Earth after things have gone wrong in space, only to realise there are things missing from her life. It also stars Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul).

A cerebral look at humanity, Apple says that “the action-packed space adventure is an exploration of the dark edges of human psychology, and one woman’s desperate quest to expose the truth about the hidden history of space travel and recover all that she has lost”.

Apple dropped the first three episodes on 21 February, with subsequent episodes dropping weekly thereafter. Here’s how you can watch Constellation for free in the UK.
