The trailer of Netflix’s psychological thriller Nightflyers is out and it is a gripping mix of powerful visuals. The Netflix original series is based on George R. R. Martin’s 1985 sci-fi novella of the same name.

The world is dying and eight maverick scientists and a telepath embark on an expedition to the edge of the solar system aboard The Nightflyer, helmed by a reclusive captain, in the hope of finding an alien life out in space.

The trailer follows the scientists inside the spaceship as they discover that there has been a malfunction in the launch of the spaceship that is seemingly leading to violent events.
