A show that involves hilarious plotlines coupled with Sci-Fi elements, Avenue 5, created by the award-winning director, Armando Iannucci, started airing its second season just a while back. The show features a ship that travels between planets and houses almost 8,000 passengers. The original cruise trip was a beautiful 8-week-long journey across the stars, but when the course is changed unexpectedly, it soon turns into a chaotic mess.
Avenue 5 was first released as a series in early 2020, just before the pandemic. The second season followed a late fall release on October 10th, 2022. The filming of the show takes place mostly at a Warner Bros. studio since most of the scenes are taken in “Space” and were done with all the scenes by November 2021.
The leading roles of Captain Ryan and Herman Judd in this series are played by Hugh Laurie, a talented comedian and actor, along with the billionaire owner of the cruise ship, Josh Gad. With such talented actors starring in the show, Avenue 5 has been appreciated for its perfect casting and performances.
Avenue 5 Season 1: Quick Recap
The previous season featured Avenue 5 having a momentary Gravitational shift. Though it injures most of the passengers, it also shifts the entire course of the ship and kills the actual captain, Joe. With him gone, Captain Ryan, who was just a reassuring figure, is left to handle the passengers and the ship’s crew.
The increasing worry among the passengers leads to various problems, and Captain Ryan soon finds out that the whole crew is made up of fake actors, and they’re stuck on the ship with a handful of people who know what they’re doing. Back on earth, Rav helps guide them and increase public support for the ship in hopes of gaining enough attention that could lead to a rescue mission.
Rav herself gets stuck on the ship when she uses a rescue shuttle to bring back Judd. Iris accidentally ends up on the shuttle and escapes to earth by the end of the first season.
