Stewart, whose movie acting career set ablaze during the Twilight series, has been pushing beyond the Bella Swan role for more than a decade now, and, as she showed us in Spencer, she's not afraid of reinventing herself with meatier roles. The Sally Ride role is her latest big move, and it'll be interesting to see how Stewart morphs once again to bring Ride to life.

After her death in 2012, it was also disclosed that Ride was in a 27-year relationship with her partner Tam O'Shaughnessy, which makes her the first known LGBTQ+ astronaut as well.
Based on the official logline for the show, The Challenger series focuses on the events before and after the January 1986 Challenger tragedy, which killed seven crew members including teacherChrista McAuliffe. However, the story will include Ride’s personal journey "through the ranks of the shuttle program, through initial recruitment and training, professional and personal highs and lows, until Sally’s historic glass ceiling moment as she becomes the first American woman in space.”
The official announcement for Stewart's new role reads as follows: "Amazon MGM Studios has officially greenlit The Challenger, a limited series starring Kristen Stewart as astronaut and physicist Sally Ride, who in 1978 became the first American woman to fly in space."
