“The creative team behind Beacon 23 has masterfully brought Hugh Howey’s best-selling book to life, and we’re excited for fans to continue this journey into Beacon 23’s universe of suspense, emotion and unforeseen twists,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+, in a statement.
Based on Howey’s 2015 novel, Beacon 23 respectively stars Game of Thrones‘ Lena Headey and Homecoming‘s Stephan James as Aster and Halan, a government agent and stoic ex-military man whose fates become entangled when they are trapped together inside one of many Beacons that serve as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers.
“Aster mysteriously finds her way to the lonely Beacon-keeper Halan, and a tense battle of wills unfolds,” the logline reads. “Halan begins to question whether Aster is friend or foe, as her ability to disguise her agenda and motives could make her a formidable opponent.”
Ellen Wong (GLOW) is joining the cast for the second season.
The Season 1 finale — spoiler alert! — ended with Aster’s fate up in the air, after Keir (Marc Menchaca) shot her.
