Spaceman had its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival and has been the subject of critical acclaim for its deep narrative and visual storytelling. After a limited theatrical release, the film made its streaming debut on Netflix, making it accessible to a global audience.

The journey to bring Spaceman to the screen began in October 2020, with Netflix announcing the adaptation of Kalfař's novel. The casting of Mulligan, Dano, and Nayyar, alongside Sandler, added depth to the project, which wrapped principal photography in the Czech Republic in July 2021. The film's music, composed by Max Richter, including the collaborative track Don’t Go Away with the American band Sparks, adds another layer of emotional resonance to the cinematic experience.
