"Another Life, a new sci-fi drama series about a crew of astronauts who encounter unimaginable danger while searching for signs of alien intelligence," the streaming service said.

Samuel Anderson and Elizabeth Faith Ludlow were also added to the project, Deadline reported.

Another Life, created by Aaron Martin (Degrassi: The New Generation) who also acts as showrunner, will feature Sackhoff as the leader of the astronaut crew. Hoechlin will portray a former commander who loses his post to Sackhoff while Chatwin will portray Sackoff's husband who is a member of the United States Interstellar Command.

Anderson will star as a sentient A.I. who appears as a holographic interface with Ludlow as Sackhoff's second-in-command.

Hoechlin has starred as Superman on The CW's Supergirl and will reprise his role as the Man of Steel in an upcoming crossover event between Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow.

Chatwin is best known for appearing on Showtime's Shameless.
