Disney+ has announced that the original scripted series THE RIGHT STUFF\u00a0<\/b>from National Geographic will premiere this fall on Disney+. Produced for National Geographic by Appian Way and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, \u201cThe Right Stuff\u201d is adapted from Tom Wolfe\u2019s iconic, bestselling non-fiction account of the early days of the U.S. space program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight-episode, scripted series takes a clear-eyed look at what would become America\u2019s first \u201creality show,\u201d as ambitious astronauts and their families become instant celebrities in a competition that could kill them or make them immortal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two men at the center of the story are Major John Glenn, a revered test pilot and committed family man with unwavering principles, portrayed by Patrick J. Adams (\u201cSuits\u201d), and Lieutenant Commander Alan Shepard, one of the best test pilots in Navy history, portrayed by Jake McDorman (\u201cWhat We Do in the Shadows,\u201d \u201cLady Bird\u201d).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the height of the Cold War in 1959, the Soviet Union dominates the space race. To combat a national sentiment of fear and decline, the U.S. government conceives of NASA\u2019s Project Mercury, igniting a space race with the Soviets and making instant celebrities of a handful of the military\u2019s most accomplished test pilots. These individuals, who come to be known as the Mercury Seven, are forged into heroes long before they have achieved a single heroic act. The nation\u2019s best engineers estimate they need several decades to make it into outer space. They are given two years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the Mercury Seven includes Lieutenant Gordon Cooper, portrayed by Colin O\u2019Donoghue (\u201cOnce Upon a Time,\u201d \u201cCarrie Pilby,\u201d \u201cThe Rite\u201d), the youngest of the seven who was selected to everyone\u2019s surprise; Wally Schirra, portrayed by Aaron Staton (\u201cMad Men,\u201d \u201cNarcos: Mexico,\u201d \u201cCastle Rock\u201d), a competitive pilot with a gift for pulling pranks; Scott Carpenter, portrayed by James Lafferty (\u201cThe Haunting of Hill House,\u201d \u201cSmall Town Crime\u201d), a soulful man who was dubbed \u201cThe Poet\u201d by the other astronauts; Deke Slayton, portrayed by Micah Stock (\u201cBrittany Runs a Marathon,\u201d \u201cEscape at Dannemora\u201d), a taciturn but incredibly intelligent pilot and engineer; and Gus Grissom, portrayed by Michael Trotter (\u201cUnderground,\u201d \u201cThe Evening Hour\u201d), a no-nonsense test pilot who eventually becomes the second man in space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The astronauts\u2019 strengths are equaled only by their flaws. As the men succumb to the temptations that surround them, Project Mercury threatens to come apart. At the heart of the historic drama populated by deeply human characters are two men who become icons \u2014 Glenn and Shepard \u2014 as they jockey to be the first man in space. The entire program is nearly brought to its knees by their intense rivalry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The series also follows NASA\u2019s engineers, who work against the clock as pressures mount from Washington and a transfixed public. And we witness the underbelly of a myth-making propaganda machine headed by NASA\u2019s PR department and aided by the writers and editors at LIFE Magazine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis true story of scientific innovation and human perseverance could not be more timely,\u201d said Courteney Monroe, president, National Geographic Global Television Networks. \u201cNational Geographic\u2019s The Right Stuff\u2019 is an aspirational story about exploration, ambition, determination and resilience and reminds us that human beings can achieve the extraordinary when united by a common purpose. This series provides a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the flawed, but heroic Mercury 7 astronauts and we are thrilled that it has found its perfect home on Disney+.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our audiences around the world turn to Disney+ to find inspiration and optimism, we believe the true-life heroism of the Mercury 7 will showcase the tenacity of the human spirit and inspire a new generation to reach for the stars,\u201d said Ricky Strauss, president, Content & Marketing, Disney+. \u201cThe wonderful team of storytellers at National Geographic, Warner Horizon Scripted Television and Appian Way have crafted a compelling and entertaining tale and we are honored to give it a global home as the first scripted Disney+ original series from National Geographic.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTom Wolfe\u2019s book brilliantly captured a critical moment in American history that really resonated with all of us at Appian Way and Nat Geo,” noted Davisson, “Disney+ is the perfect partner to bring forth this story of what it takes to truly achieve something extraordinary, but also the personal costs of that ambition.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Added Lafferty, \u201c\u2019The Right Stuff\u2019 evokes the wonder and awe of the moment we first escaped the bounds of our only home and ventured into the unknown. But the show is as much about who we are today as it is about our historic achievements. At a time when the world is confronted with significant challenges, this story reminds us that what seems impossible today can become the triumph of tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the ensemble cast includes Nora Zehetner (\u201cBrick,\u201d \u201cCreative Control\u201d) as Annie Glenn, the wife of John Glenn and his childhood sweetheart who has a speech impairment that can sometimes make communication difficult; Eloise Mumford (\u201cFifty Shades of Grey\u201d franchise) as Trudy Cooper, Gordon Cooper\u2019s wife and an accomplished pilot herself, with her rocky marriage to Gordon providing conflict throughout the season; and Shannon Lucio (\u201cPrison Break,\u201d \u201cTrue Blood\u201d) as Louise Shepard, Alan Shepard\u2019s devoted and long-suffering wife.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick Fischler (\u201cTwin Peaks,\u201d \u201cMad Men\u201d) plays Bob Gilruth, a soft-spoken rocket scientist who is the partner of the more brash Chris Kraft, who is portrayed by Eric Ladin (\u201cAmerican Sniper\u201d). They are critical members of NASA\u2019s Space Task group, charged by President Dwight Eisenhower with putting a man into space faster than seems humanly possible. They\u2019re racing against the clock as pressures mount from Washington and a transfixed public.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Mercury 7 astronauts are thrust into the public eye, NASA\u2019s PR department goes into overdrive to paint the perfect picture, aided by the writers and editors at LIFE Magazine.\u00a0Danny Strong (\u201cBillions\u201d) plays John \u201cShorty\u201d Powers,<\/span>\u00a0NASA\u2019s omnipresent PR man, constantly taking the astronauts on glad-handing trips to factories and rubber-chicken dinners in order to spur public enthusiasm, and thus, appropriations from congress for the space program.\u00a0Josh Cooke (\u201cGrace and Frankie,\u201d \u201cThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\u201d) plays Loudon Wainwright Jr., LIFE Magazine\u2019s star reporter, who is tasked with writing the biographies of all seven astronauts and has the keenest look at what\u2019s really transpiring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are executive producers, along with Mark Lafferty (\u201cCastle Rock,\u201d \u201cHalt and Catch Fire\u201d), who is showrunner.\u00a0<\/span>Chris Long (\u201cThe Americans,\u201d \u201cThe Mentalist\u201d) directed and executive produced the first episode. Will Staples (\u201cAnimals,\u201d \u201cShooter\u201d) and Howard Korder (\u201cBoardwalk Empire\u201d) are also executive producers. Academy Award\u00ae winner Thelma Schoonmaker (\u201cRaging Bull,\u201d \u201cGoodFellas,\u201d \u201cThe Departed\u201d)\u00a0and\u00a0Emmy\u00ae winner\u00a0Danny Strong\u00a0(\u201cEmpire,\u201d \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d movies, \u201cGame Change\u201d) are\u00a0consulting producers.\u00a0Michael Hampton shepherded this project on behalf of Appian Way and is co-producer.<\/span><\/p>\n
