Set in the isolated desert of Winslow, Arizona at NASA’s Moon Base Simulator, Moonbase 8 follows eager astronauts Skip, Rook and their leader Cap as they attempt to qualify for their first lunar mission. While working vigorously to complete their training, a series of unexpected circumstances forces the astronauts to question their own mental sanity, trust in each other and whether or not they’re cut out for space travel.
The series stars Emmy nominee Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Oscar nominee John C. Reilly (Chicago, Ralph Breaks the Internet) and Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!).

The six-episode first season is set to premiere sometime this fall on Showtime.
