• Julianna Margulies as Laura Peterson, a UBA news anchor;
• Greta Lee as Stella Bak, a tech world wunderkind who has joined the UBA executive team;

Come From Away (from September 10) is the filmed version of the award-winning Broadway musical about 7,000 people stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after all flights into the US are grounded on September 11, 2001. Reads the burb:

As the people of Newfoundland graciously welcome the “come from aways” into their community in the aftermath, the passengers and locals alike process what’s happened while finding love, laughter, and new hope in the unlikely and lasting bonds that they forge.

It was filmed at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in New York City, where the Broadway production is staged, for an audience that included 9/11 survivors and frontline workers.

Tony Award-winner Christopher Ashley, who directed the original production, again is at the helm while the Broadway cast reprise their roles.

When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilisation. Enraged by Hari’s claims, the ruling Cleons – a long line of emperor clones – fear their grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.
