The show, which is based on the "Space Nation" game, plans to use non-traditional distribution channels such as second-window broadcasts for streamers.

A live-action TV series based on the “Space Nation” Web3 game is in development with Hollywood director Roland Emmerich and producer Marco Weber leading the project.
