“Life comes crashing down.”
The brand new Australian drama The Last Days of the Space Age premiers October 2 on Hulu. The story is set in Perth, Australia in 1979, which sees the city host the Miss Universe and a USA space station crash into the city — all this while the lives of our three central families are in disarray. We’re on the verge of a new world. We know it, we just don’t know it.

Hulu may be on the cheaper side at just $7.99/month, but the on-demand streaming service boasts an ever-growing catalog of original series like The Handmaid’s Tale, primetime hits like Modern Family, and BBC imports like Killing Eve. It’s also where you’ll find FX’s critically acclaimed titles like Atlanta, Fargo, and Reservation Dogs. Hulu runs on ads, but if you can’t stand commercials, you can go ad-free for $17.99/month.
Not just a period piece
As key as the show’s time period is to its premise, director Bharat Nalluri muses that the show isn’t just a period piece, that people still had similar issues and worries back then that we do now, though we may feel like we’ve greatly changed. “It’s a great mirror to who we are now,” he says, but adds: “This show is full of hope and joy and light at the end of the tunnel. That’s the kind of show I like to make.”
