Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of the new sci-fi drama “Another Life,” the streaming giant said Thursday.

The series will star “Battlestar Galactica” alum Katee Sackhoff as an astronaut Niko Breckenridge leading a crew to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. Niko and her young crew face danger along the way, trying to make sure they’re not on a one-way mission. 

Aaron Martin (“Slasher,” “Saving Hope,” “Degrassi: The Next Generation”) created the series and will serve as showrunner. Halfire Entertainment, which also produced Netflix’s “Alias Grace,” will produce. Noreen Halpern, who also worked on “Alias Grace,” will executive produce.

Earlier Thursday, Netflix announced three new projects from comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, including a multi-cam comedy series and two stand-up specials.

The first of Iglesias’ two upcoming stand-up comedy specials for Netflix will be taped during “One Show Fits All,” the comedian’s current world tour. The second will be produced at a later date.

Iglesias is one of the most watched stand-up comedians on YouTube with over 365,000,000 views and has more than 10 million followers across his social media. He has also headlined and sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York and Staples Center in Los Angeles.
