The eight-episode series pulls back the curtain on America’s first astronauts, how they trained for their big mission, their personal dramas, and more.
“Produced for National Geographic by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Warner Bros. Television, ‘The Right Stuff’ takes a clear-eyed look at America’s first ‘reality show’, when ambitious astronauts and their families became instant celebrities in a competition of money, fame, and immortality,” the official description reads.

The series stars Patrick J. Adams, Jake McDorman, Colin O’Donoghue, James Lafferty, Aaron Staton, Michael Trotter, and Micah Stock.
“The Right Stuff” premieres Oct. 9 on Disney+.
