Last Days of the Space Age is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 8-episode run in October 2024. This ambitious Australian production captures a specific historical nexus in 1979 Perth, blending the global spectacle of the Miss Universe pageant with the atmospheric tension of the Skylab reentry. The narrative functions as a sweeping period piece, meticulously recreating the cultural and social landscape of Western Australia during a time of immense transition. By weaving together the interconnected lives of three families against the backdrop of industrial unrest and cosmic uncertainty, the series delivers a definitive, closed-ended exploration of a community on the precipice of change. Its high production value and evocative storytelling cement its status as a self-contained prestige event, capturing a fleeting moment in history with cinematic precision.

Filmed primarily in the Illawarra region and Sydney, New South Wales, which served as a meticulous double for 1970s Western Australia.

Why Watch:
"A sharp, nostalgic collision of family drama and historic chaos set against the backdrop of 1979 Perth."
Series Analysis:
In 1979, Perth was the center of the universe—or at least the target for falling debris. Last Days of the Space Age masterfully juggles the sweltering friction of a city on the edge, pitting the glamour of Miss Universe against the looming threat of Skylab and crippling power strikes. The Bissett and Ti families aren't just navigating cultural shifts; they are surviving the literal dark. After a finale that left relationships fractured and futures uncertain, audiences are now enduring their own blackout, waiting to see if Disney+ will authorize a return to Western Australia. To ensure you catch the signal the moment the silence breaks, setting a reminder for the next chapter is the smartest way to keep your eyes on the skies.
