About ONE-PUNCH MAN
Based on the best-selling manga series created by ONE and illustrated by Yusuke Murata (also published by VIZ Media, every volume of the ongoing series has been a Top 10 bestseller on Bookscan Graphic Novel sales chart), ONE-PUNCH MAN depicts the adventures of Saitama, a young man who only became a hero for fun.

Though he faces new enemies every day, it turns out being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. Can a hero be too strong?

Patrick J. Adams to Play John Glenn in "The Right Stuff" TV Series

National Geographic Taps Patrick J. Adams as Maj. John Glenn in Global Scripted Series The Right Stuff, Based on Tom Wolfe’s Best-Seller

Adaptation of Wolfe’s Best-Seller Recounts Pioneering Chapter of Historic U.S. Space Race

Appian Way and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, Appian Way’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Are Executive Producers; Mark Lafferty (“Castle Rock,” “Halt and Catch Fire”) Tapped as Executive Producer and Showrunner; David Nutter (“Game of Thrones,” “Band of Brothers”) Will Direct Premiere Episode

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Geographic, with Appian Way and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, announced today that Patrick J. Adams (“Suits”) will star in THE RIGHT STUFF as Maj. John Glenn. This marks the network’s next global scripted series, which is based on Tom Wolfe’s iconic best-selling nonfiction book. The series takes a clear-eyed look at what would become America’s first “reality show,” as ambitious astronauts and their families become instant celebrities in a competition that will either kill them or make them immortal in the quest to be a part of Project Mercury. Production will begin this fall in Cocoa Beach, Fla., and will premiere globally on National Geographic in 2020.

Glenn is a revered test pilot and committed family man with unwavering principles. He is the only astronaut to have experienced fame before Project Mercury, and he immediately locks horns with Alan Shepard in an unrelenting fight to be the first man in space.

The first season of THE RIGHT STUFF, which uses Wolfe’s book as its starting point, starts at the height of the Cold War. To combat a national sentiment of fear and decline, the U.S. government conceives of NASA’s Project Mercury, igniting a space race with the Soviets and making instant celebrities of a handful of the military’s adrenaline-fueled test pilots. These individuals, who come to be known as the Mercury Seven, are forged into heroes long before they have achieved a single heroic act. At the heart of a historic drama populated by deeply human characters, two archrivals — Glenn and Shepard — jockey to be the first man in space.

Subsequent seasons of THE RIGHT STUFF will carry through to the epochal Apollo Space Program, where humankind saw one of its greatest achievements — man setting foot on the moon — and missions beyond.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are executive producers, along with Mark Lafferty (“Castle Rock,” “Halt and Catch Fire”), who has signed on as showrunner. David Nutter (“Game of Thrones,” “Band of Brothers”) is set to direct and executive produce the series’ premiere episode. Will Staples (“Animals,” “Shooter”) is also an executive producer. Michael Hampton shepherded this project on behalf of Appian Way.

Adams is represented by ICM Partners, Andy Corren Management and attorney Lev Ginsburg.
