Netflix’s next sci-fi show has an intriguing new trailer that’s drawing comparisons to movies likeInterstellarandAd Astra.
The German-language series follows scientist Paula (Peri Baumeister), who’s away on a mission to the International Space Station. “Why doesn’t mom like it on Earth?” her daughter Charlie (Yuna Bennett) asks her father Sven (Florian David Fitz) in the trailer, suggesting that her mother prefers life in zero gravity. While on her flight back home, however, Paula disappears without a trace.
Per the streamer’s logline, this leaves Sven and Charlie “with a riddle which could shake the entire earth. Up there, in the depths of space, Paula made an unbelievable discovery.” The trailer teases father and daughter’s attempts to decode messages from Paula and hints that whatever she discovered is valuable information that could put their lives at risk. The limited series will consist of four episodes releasing next month.
The Signal arrives on Netflix on March 7. In the meantime, fill out your watch list with our picks of thebest Netflix showsstreaming now.
