The 2022 Amazon Prime Video science-fiction series Night Sky has earned a spot among the greatest TV shows with fewer than 20 episodes, despite lasting only one season.
The series, starring Oscar winners Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons, was ranked No. 9 on Collider’s list of “The 10 Greatest Shows With Fewer Than 20 Episodes.”
Night Sky premiered on Amazon Prime Video on May 20, 2022, with all eight episodes released at once. Amazon canceled the science-fiction drama in July 2022, roughly six weeks after its debut. Despite its short run, the series continues to stand out for its unusual story, its veteran lead actors, and its mix of science fiction, family drama and mystery.

— الشاشة (@alshashaoff) May 20, 2022Collider described Night Sky as “a breath of fresh air in the science fiction genre.” It also praised the decision to place older characters at the center of the story, with Spacek and Simmons leading the cast as married couple Irene and Franklin York.
Created by Holden Miller for Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, Night Sky follows Irene and Franklin York, an elderly couple living in Illinois who have kept a major secret for years.
Hidden beneath their property is a chamber that leads to a viewing platform on another planet. The Yorks have discovered a way to reach the strange world but have never fully understood the portal or what lies beyond it.
Franklin says the couple has visited the chamber 856 times. For years, the portal becomes part of their quiet life together, giving them a private place away from the problems they face at home.
Their lives change when a mysterious young man named Jude suddenly appears near the portal. Jude, played by Chai Hansen, is connected to a secret group and becomes part of the Yorks’ increasingly complicated situation.
The story also moves beyond Illinois. In Argentina, Stella, played by Julieta Zylberberg, guards another portal located near a church. Her teenage daughter Toni, played by Rocío Hernández, eventually learns about the secret.
The series therefore brings together several storylines involving the York family, the portals and secret groups connected to the mysterious worlds.
At the center of it all are Spacek and Simmons. The Guardian praised their work as Irene and Franklin, noting how their performances show the history and closeness of a couple who have spent more than 50 years together.
The Guardian also pointed to the emotional side of the series. Irene and Franklin are dealing with the realities of growing older. Irene’s mobility becomes more limited after a fall, while Franklin begins experiencing memory problems. They are also dealing with the loss of their son, Michael.
The show received largely positive reviews but failed to make a major enough impact with viewers to justify the sizable production costs connected to its science-fiction elements.
Rotten Tomatoes later listed the first season with a 75% Tomatometer score based on 48 reviews and an 80% Popcornmeter score based on more than 250 audience ratings.
The series also received a 66 out of 100 score from Metacritic based on 18 critics, indicating generally favorable reviews.
Although the cancellation ended the story after one season, Night Sky had already made an unusual mark outside the episodes themselves.
