Avenue 5 takes audiences on an adventure into the not-so-distant future of space tourism. Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) is in over his head when the luxury spacecraft he runs, owned by Herman Judd (Josh Gad), goes off-course, turning a leisurely eight-week cruise into an eight-year journey of survival. Now, five months into the trek, the crew continues to struggle to lead, calm, and control the anxious and unruly passengers as they try to keep a professional head on their shoulders. The sci-fi comedy co-stars Lenora Crichlow, Zach Woods, and Suzy Nakamura. Read on for more on how to watch Avenue 5.
