SPACE GOONIES

The driving beat of a synth-pop track perfectly captures the joyful adventure ahead, introducing strange new aliens, thrilling space battles, and never-before-seen worlds that we can’t wait to explore. The series, created by Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, who also serves as the showrunners, follows along as Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) get lost in this wonderfully strange and dangerous galaxy.

Luckily, Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) is here to help. “I’ll get you home,” he tells them in the new trailer. “We’ll make a partnership.” Of course, pirate ports, booby traps, hidden treasure, and massive tentacled aliens are just a few of the obstacles between the four young travelers and their goal. As Neel points out, they’re lost. Really lost!

SYNOPSIS

“When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.”
