The Netflix Sci-Fi Mystery That Will Blow Your Mind

The Discovery made its world premiere at the Sundance International Film Festival on January 20, 2017, and had its debut on Netflix on March 31 of that same year. The film had been announced as early as October of 2015 with Rooney Mara’s casting the first to be made public, alongside Nicholas Hoult, who was ultimately replaced by Jason Segel due to scheduling conflicts.

Alex Orlovsky and James D. Stern of Verisimilitude and Endgame Entertainment, respectively, produced the film, which features a musical score by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
