“THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB” TO PREMIERE ON ABC THURSDAY, JUNE 18
A Compelling New Drama Follows the Lives of Seven Women Who Were Key Players Behind Some of the Biggest Events in American History
“The Astronaut Wives Club” – A new television drama series based on the book by Lily Koppel, focuses on seven women who were key players behind some of the biggest events in American history. As America’s astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, the lives of their young wives were transformed, seemingly overnight, from military spouses to American royalty. As their celebrity rose, and tragedy began to touch their lives, they rallied together. “The Astronaut Wives Club” premieres THURSDAY, JUNE 18 (8:00–9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
“The Astronaut Wives Club” stars JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Betty Grissom; Yvonne Strahovski as Rene Carpenter; Dominique McElligott as Louise Shepard; Odette Annable as Trudy Cooper; Erin Cummings as Marge Slayton; Azure Parsons as Annie Glenn; Zoe Boyle as Jo Schirra; Desmond Harrington as Alan Shepard; Bret Harrison as Gordo Cooper; Wilson Bethel as Scott Carpenter; Kenneth Mitchell as Deke Slayton; Joel Johnstone as Gus Grissom; Sam Reid as John Glenn and Aaron McCusker as Wally Schirra. The first episode was directed by Lone Scherfig, director of the Academy Award®-nominated film “An Education.”
“The Astronaut Wives Club” is executive produced by Stephanie Savage (“Gossip Girl,” “The O.C.”); Josh Schwartz (“The O.C”; “Chuck”); Len Goldstein (“The Carrie Diaries,” “Hart of Dixie”); Michael London (“Milk,” “Appaloosa”) and Janice Williams (“All Good Things,” “The Hollars”).
The series is produced by ABC Studios, Fake Empire and Groundswell and is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC’s selected HDTV format with 5.1 channel surround sound. A TV parental guideline will be assigned closer to airdate.

I feel like they're just burning the episodes off at this point but I still can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteIt took so long to air im on the defense to. Watch. I Notice everything is coming on Thursday is that the new to go place for Summer TV :/
ReplyDeleteI have three shows airing Thursdays at ten this summer. Why do you have to do this to me, people who schedule?
ReplyDeleteFinally we have an air date!!
ReplyDeleteIkr I already have Big Brother, Mistresses and Under The Dome
ReplyDeleteFinally a premiere date. But that is a horrible slot. Thursdays at 8 during summer are very low viewed.
ReplyDeleteTAWC, Mistress and Rookie Blue! Nice Thursday line up.
ReplyDeleteThis will probably kick BatB's a*s.
Here is the original book cover to compare that photo with: https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/astronaut-wives-club__131016182630.jpg
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteOkay... Well summer show... sure... If they've approached this a mini series thing I can see it working.
ReplyDeleteAlso I know on paper it doesn't sound like it, but with Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz involved I actually think it might actually be quite compatible with Mistresses tonally, so I can see why they would have kept it for the summer lineup.
I'm still not 100% on board. But I'll definitely watch for Yvonne, JoAnna and Wilson.
Love the posters. It's so colorful and so retro!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it should be compatible with Mistresses
ReplyDeleteI love JoAnna Garcia Swisher ever sicne she was on Reba! Hoep she has sucess with this show because her recent shwos have failed. Also she was amazing as Ariel on OUAT!
ReplyDeleteI have Mistresses, Under The Dome, The Astronaut Wives Club, Hannibal, Aquarius, and few others.
