New Fox reality show to let you imagine your favorite celebrities be doomed in space
William Shatner will host Stars On Mars, which asks: What would happen if we sent our famous people into the lethal inky blackness of the void?
Space is a bad place for people to stay alive in; it’s one of the main reasons we don’t live there. (Also, the commute’s an absolute pain in the ass.) And while it’s a fun enough destination to visit in our imaginations, if we’re being honest, our imaginations are pretty much shot at this point. And so we beseech Hollywood: Could you do us a solid and let us maybe imagine some famous people living there, instead?
Luckily, Fox has taken our incredibly lazy brains’ best interests to heart, announcing today Stars On Mars, a new reality competition series in which people at a “Fox reality show” level of famous get together to do fake space missions. (Presumably minus the bit where they float off, untethered, into the inky blackness of the void, screaming for what will, for them, feel like an eternity before the air runs out.) And also, William Shatner is hosting it, because he’s the first person who loads in when our brains try to think of a “Space guy”!
