Kristen Stewart will make her television debut as Sally Ride in the upcoming Prime Video limited series “The Challenger,” Amazon MGM announced on Thursday.
The show, from Big Swing Productions, Amblin Television and Nevermind Pictures, received an official greenlight and will chronicle the first American woman in space’s journey through the astronaut program to break the glass ceiling, as well as her work on the commission to investigate the deadly Challenger disaster in 1986.
Created by WGA winner Maggie Cohn, who serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, the series is inspired by Meredith E. Bagby’s acclaimed 2023 book “The New Guys,” which was initially developed at Big Swing Productions.
