Rueben's Ramblings

On April 24, the small screen adaptation of The Man Who Fell to Earth will air two back-to-back episodes at 10 and 11 PM on Showtime.

Inspired by the Walter Tevis novel of the same name and the iconic David Bowie film, the series will follow a new alien character (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who arrives on Earth at a turning point in human evolution and must confront his own past to determine our future. Naomie Harris will play Justin Falls, a brilliant scientist and engineer who must conquer her own demons in the race to save two worlds.

The cast includes Bill Nighy, Clarke Peters, Jimmi Simpson and Kate Mulgrew.
