Strange Angel, CBS All Access’ upcoming series inspired by the wild life of rocket scientist/sex magician Jack Parsons, got its first trailer on Wednesday, and it looks like a heady mix of science, occult, romance, sex, genius and madness.
The series — CBS All Access’ first not based on another show — stars Transformers: Age of Extinction’s Jack Reynor as Parsons, a janitor at a chemical factory in 1930s Pasadena who dreams of building rockets that will send people to the moon.
Strange Angel premieres on CBS All Access Thursday, June 14, with new episodes of the 10-episode first season dropping on subsequent Thursdays.
The series is executive-produced by Black Swan screenwriter Mark Heyman and Ridley Scott.
