Kristen Stewart To Star In "The Challenger"

Kristen Stewart is set to star in "The Challenger", a limited series in which she’ll play Sally Ride, the astronaut and physicist who became the first American woman to fly in space. She did this as part of a NASA space shuttle astronaut class of 1978 that was the first to be diversified and not comprised of all white men.

Maggie Cohn will serve as the writer and showrunner.

The series is based on The New Guys, a book written by Meredith E. Bagby.
