Set in the near future, Avenue 5 opens with a luxurious space cruise gone hilariously wrong. When a technical disaster sends the interplanetary ship off course, its pampered passengers and unprepared crew must face chaos in zero gravity. Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) struggles to maintain control as panic spreads and the company’s eccentric billionaire owner meddles from afar. Blending sharp satire with sci-fi absurdity, the premiere sets the tone for a darkly comic look at incompetence, ego, and survival in space.
