Andy Weir's New Sci-Fi Epic is ‘The Martian’ Meets ‘The Twilight Zone’

Andy Weir, the acclaimed author behind the gripping sci-fi survival tales "The Martian" and "Project Hail Mary," is set to release a new audio drama that blends the action and ingenuity of his previous works with a surreal, time-bending premise reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone." The project, titled "Exoplanet," is an executive production for Audible, with Weir serving as an executive producer and Benjamin Percy writing the full-cast audio experience.

Set aboard the starship Wild Blue Yonder, the story follows a crew scattered across time as they find themselves on the same planet in different historical periods. The thriller, which premiered on November 5, features an exclusive clip showcasing Science Officer Logan Bowers, played by John Leguizamo, who wakes up injured and must navigate the challenges of finding assistance.
