Filmmakers behind "Chernobyl" and "The Queen's Walk" prepare to produce a space-themed series set in the Vatican.

In the world of television, exciting new projects are always on the horizon. One such project is the upcoming FX series "The Swallow," co-created by Johan Renck and Scott Frank. Based on the novel of the same name by Erin Morgenstern, "The Swallow" promises to be a thrilling drama filled with psychological suspense and complex character dynamics.

Johan Renck, known for his work on shows like "Chernobyl" and "Breaking Bad," will be directing the series, while Scott Frank, who has penned scripts for "The Man in the High Castle" and "Logan," will serve as writer for all episodes. This collaboration suggests a high-quality production with a focus on narrative depth and visual style.

The series is expected to centre around a secret Vatican mission to space. The mission, led by linguist and priest Emilio Sandoz, encounters a disaster, leaving Emilio as the sole survivor. Upon his return to Earth, Emilio is called for investigation after the mission's catastrophic end.

It is also revealed that Emilio made first contact with an alien civilization on the distant planet Rakhat. The mission involved a team of scientists and priests, and the search results did not return specific information regarding the plot of the series. For the most accurate and detailed plot summary, official FX press releases or announcements would be the best source.

Meanwhile, Anya Taylor-Joy, known for her roles in "Glass" and "The Queen's Gambit," is not directly associated with "The Swallow." However, her performance in "The Queen's Gambit" made it to the daily top 10 on Netflix in 92 countries and topped the charts in 63 countries. The series, which revolves around a young girl's journey to become a chess prodigy, led to a record-high number of Google searches on how to play chess.

As we eagerly await more details about "The Swallow," it's clear that this series is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the world of television. With the pedigree of its creators and the intriguing premise, it's sure to capture the imagination of audiences worldwide.

Culture and science collide in the upcoming FX series "The Swallow," as it delves into the realms of space-and-astronomy and the discovery of an alien civilization. The series, set against the backdrop of a Vatican mission to space, also explores technology with its focus on the operation and aftermath of the mission.
