The new six-parter will see Andrea Riseborough take on the lead role as biologist Claire Reith, who is the first woman to set foot on the moon, and is embarking on a groundbreaking research project.
The lead cast of Riseborough and Ashley Walters was previously announced with last week's news also bringing confirmation that Rivals star Alex Hassell and Pride & Prejudice's Jennifer Ehle were also joining the thriller.
As for their roles, Akingbola plays astronaut Dr Henry Evans, who is in charge of the nuclear reactor that sustains life on the moon while Fee plays astronaut Dr Declan McAllister, described as having a "bullish demeanour" that puts him at loggerheads with Riseborough's Claire.
Gallagher is set to play Lucy Miller, a former NASA astronaut who now works in Mission Control, Lavernia plays Gabriel Ross, commander of the moon mission and Shazad Latif stars as Inesh Vidhani, the billionaire who is behind the entire space programme.
The series certainly sounds like an ambitious and exciting feat that seemingly blends sci-fi elements with a classic whodunnit mystery – consider us sold! The description for the series continues: "With the action switching between Mission Control in the UK and the lunar surface, this is a race against time like no other, with the remaining astronauts under increasing pressure and Ben hoping against hope that he and his wife can be reunited. But how well can two people really know each other?"
As of now, a release date hasn't yet been announced but filming for the series has kicked off in Belfast so watch this space.
