"Exoplanet": A Groundbreaking Sci-Fi Odyssey from Andy Weir and Audible

Brace yourself for an exhilarating interstellar journey like no other, as celebrated author Andy Weir teams up with Audible to unleash the thrilling sci-fi audiobook, "Exoplanet." Set for a Fall release, this epic production boasts an all-star cast led by Anthony Mackie, Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose, and John Leguizamo. The story unfolds when the starship Wild Blue Yonder is catapulted into chaos by a quantum anomaly, scattering its crew across different eras on a lethal exoplanet.

Each survivor must navigate treacherous landscapes while battling an imminent countdown to oblivion. Chief Engineer Jeff Shaw (Anthony Mackie), aided by his resourceful virtual assistant (Ray Porter), embarks on a relentless quest to reunite with his daughter in the present. First Officer Becca Bang (Ariana DeBose) faces a merciless alien past, and Science Officer Logan Bowers (John Leguizamo) awakens in a future ruled by machines – an era that should never have existed.

However, this anomaly was no mere cosmic fluke; it was orchestrated by an insidious alien intelligence feeding on human technology and waiting across every timeline to consume them all. The crew's only hope lies in communicating through the ages itself – a task that will test their ingenuity and resolve to the breaking point. Blending pulse-pounding action with the signature wit and intelligence of Andy Weir, "Exoplanet" delves into what it means to fight for mankind's future when one's own existence hangs in the balance.

In his own words: "This story isn't just something you read; it's something you hear." Weir shared, "Anthony, Ariana, and John don't just perform it; they embody every impossible mile between them." Lucasfilm's Skywalker Sound provides the sound design for this auditory adventure, with an original score by composer Rob Cairns. The talented cast also includes Cherry Jones ("Succession," "The Handmaid's Tale"), Sufe Bradshaw ("Veep," "Vice"), Charlie Plummer ("Lean on Pete," "All the Money in the World"), Ray Porter (Audible's "Project Hail Mary," "The Bobiverse"), and Aida Osman ("Rap Sh!t").

Marshall Lewy, Audible's head of content for North America, enthused: "Andy Weir's stories transport rigorous science into heart-stopping thrillers filled with intense human emotion. With Andy as executive producer and Benjamin Percy crafting captivating scripts tailored for the ear, 'Exoplanet' is a must-listen for fans of 'Project Hail Mary' and 'The Martian.'" To date, audiobook versions of Weir's novels have sold over 7 million copies on Audible.

His works have graced both bestselling lists and the silver screen – "The Martian" was adapted into a film directed by Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon, while his most recent novel, "Project Hail Mary," debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and was transformed into a hit movie released in March 2026 by Amazon MGM Studios. Benjamin Percy is the author of six novels, including "The Ninth Metal," "The Unfamiliar Garden," and "Red Moon," as well as three story collections.

He has ventured into film, television, and comics, penning titles for Wolverine, X-Force, and Green Arrow for DC and Marvel. Get ready to immerse yourself in the unparalleled cosmic adventure that is "Exoplanet," premiering exclusively on Audible this November!
