What’s This TV Show About?

A science-fiction mystery thriller series airing on MGM+, the Beacon 23 TV show stars Lena Headey and Stephan James, with Marnie McPhail, Daniel Malik, Carolina Bartczak, Cyrus Faird, Sydney Ozerov-Meyer, Hannah Melissa Scott, and Tara Rosling. The story is set in the 23rd Century and takes place in the farthest reaches of the Milky Way, in a remote “lighthouse.” Aster Calyx (Headey) is a government agent, while Halan Kai Nelson (James) is a stoic ex-military man. Their fates become entangled after they find themselves trapped together inside one of many Beacons that serve as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. Every Beacon is run by one highly trained human and a specialized Artificial Intelligence. Aster mysteriously finds her way to the lonely Beacon-keeper Halan, and a tense battle of wills unfolds.

 

Telly’s Take

Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is typically difficult to predict whether MGM+ will cancel or renew a show like Beacon 23 for a second season. Spectrum Originals and AMC Networks initially greenlighted the series. The show received an early renewal, allowing the series to stay in continuous production. Soon after, Charter Communications got out of the original programming business and shut down Spectrum Originals. It’s presumed that two seasons of Beacon 23 were still filmed.
