The Right Stuff will make its debut sometime in fall 2020 on Disney+.
The series is co-production between Appian Way Productions and Warner Horizon Television in partnership with National Geographic.
The Right Stuff is set to become the first scripted original series for Disney+ from Nat Geo and will provide a platform for a notable original drama in the fall when streamers begin to feel the effects of pandemic-related production shutdowns.
“This true story of scientific innovation and human perseverance could not be more timely,” Courteney Monroe, president, National Geographic Global Television Networks, said in a statement.
