Mamie Gummer has been cast as recurring guest star on National Geographic’s Leonardo DiCaprio-produced astronaut series “The Right Stuff,” TheWrap has learned exclusively.
An adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s iconic, bestselling book of the same name, the scripted series stars Jake McDorman (“Limitless”) as Alan Shepard, Patrick J. Adams (“Suits”) as John Glenn and Colin O’Donoghue (“Once Upon a Time”) as Gordo Cooper.
According to Nat Geo, “the eight-part series takes a clear-eyed, non-nostalgic look at the nation’s drive to be the first in space and the lives of the ambitious astronauts and their families, who gained instant fame in a competition that would either kill them or make them immortal.
