Space Cadet follows the story of Tiffany “Rex” Simpson, portrayed by Emma Roberts, who has always harboured a deep desire to venture into space. However, life has thrown her some unexpected curveballs.
Fueled by determination and the unwavering support of her best friend Nadine, played by Poppy Liu, Tiffany sets her sights on the stars. With a cleverly altered application, she lands a coveted spot in NASA’s fiercely competitive astronaut training program.
As Tiffany navigates the rigorous program, her quick wit, tenacity, and daring nature become her most significant assets. She must keep her background hidden from program directors Pam and Logan, played by Gabrielle Union and Tom Hopper.
Can this determined Florida native conquer training challenges and achieve her dream of space exploration without her secret being uncovered?
Penned and directed by Liz W. Garcia, known for Purple Hearts and The Sinner, Space Cadet promises to deliver a heartwarming comedy that celebrates the power of authenticity, the pursuit of one’s aspirations, and reaching for the skies.
Mark your calendars for the 4th of July and watch the premiere of Space Cadet exclusively on Prime Video.
