ABC’s Astronaut Wives Club premiere has been pushed to the 2014-2015 midseason. The show was scheduled to premiere July 24, but the show has been put on hold for creative changes. Originally the show was designed to focus on the wives of the Mercury astronauts, but the scope has been expanded to include the Gemini and Apollo astronauts as well. The show has been given a series order of 10 episodes. Here is the description of the series from ABC.com:
Based on the book by Lily Koppel, this 10 episode limited series tells the story of the women who were key players behind some of the biggest events in American history. As America’s astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, Life Magazine documented the astronauts’ families, capturing the behind-the-scenes lives of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. As their celebrity rose and tragedy began to touch their lives, they rallied together.
