The Astronauts are officially ready for take off as we are eight days away from its big debut on Nickelodeon.
To celebrate the premiere, cast members Miya Cech, Keith L. Williams, Kayden Grace Swan, and Ben Daon, along with creator, writer, and executive producer Daniel Knauf (Carnivàle, The Blacklist) gathered to New York Street on the Universal Studios Backlot in Hollywood for a special drive-in screening where the cast, crew, and special guests watched the hour-long premiere episode safely from their own cars.
The Celeb Secrets team was included on the guest list of lucky VIPs and it was the best way to kick off Halloween weekend, giving us the fix of in-person events that we’ve been patiently waiting for since the Coronavirus lockdown in March. Making sure everyone was tested to ensure the safest possible experience, staff greeted us with masks and goodies upon arrival before we drove up to our spot to watch the hour-long episode. With movie snacks available by the touch of a button, the drive-in screening at such an iconic location was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we won’t ever forget.
The Astronauts is a brand-new live-action series follows a group of kids who embark on the adventure of a lifetime when they are mistakenly launched into space.
In the hour-long premiere, the spacecraft Odyssey II is set to launch on a mission to retrieve a foreign object that could potentially save mankind. The plan quickly goes awry when five untrained kids use their parents’ security clearances to sneak onto the empty ship. Soon after they board, the onboard AI system triggers the launch sequence. Unable to stop the ship from blasting off, the kids must assume their new role as astronauts and brave harrowing tasks, as their parents rush to find a way to take control of the situation.
The Astronauts premieres next Friday, November 13th @ 7PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
