WATCH: ‘The Astronauts’ Cast Talks New Nickelodeon Series, Favorite Memories & More

We are now two days away from the world premiere of Nickelodeon’s family drama The Astronauts and Celeb Secrets is sitting down with the cast to learn everything you need to know before its debut.

In case you didn’t know already, 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.

Without spoiling too much, we can tell you that between its stunning visuals, diverse cast and valuable life lessons, The Astronauts is so out-of-this-world good that we can’t wait to see what’s in store for upcoming episodes.

“It’s so different than other Nickelodeon shows,” cast member Bryce Gheisar, who plays Elliott Combs, tells Celeb Secrets.

Watch the trailer below: 

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 last Friday (October 30) for a special drive-in screening where the cast, crew, and special guests watched the hour-long premiere episode safely from their own cars.
