About this listen

Six hours. That’s how long seven-year-old Sophie Lewin was missing. Found seventeen miles away on a desolate road, she has no memory of the incident, and the police have no leads. But one thing is certain: Sophie has not been the same since. Determined to understand what happened, Sophie’s parents enlist the help of world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Maddie Wyle (Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain). As Maddie begins to unlock Sophie’s memories, she is thrust headlong into a supernatural mystery, abandoning the confines of science in her belief that whatever came for Sophie isn’t from this planet.

Maddie soon discovers that Sophie is not alone. Others have had similar experiences, each of them undergoing extraordinary changes. Convinced that the cases are linked, Maddie risks everything—her career, her reputation, even her family—to pursue a truth that will impact the fate of humankind. But how far is Maddie willing to go in order to prove this world-shattering revelation?

Produced by Topic Studios, in association with Freckle Films, Solaris Productions, and Ramble Road, The Space Within is a mind-bending, thrilling exploration into themes of love, loss, redemption, and the untapped powers of the human body and mind. The star-studded cast also includes Bobby Cannavale, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Shannon, Shea Whigham, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Carmen Ejogo.

Had me captivated from episode one

The acting was excellent, as was the production. It was a great binge listen, thanks. I’d love to hear what happens next; these episodes were made in 2023…

Amazing acting and story

I’m not sure why there are reviews saying the story is confusing or not good. I thoroughly enjoys everything about this immersive podcast. The story was intriguing and kept me hooked all the way though. My only complaint is I wish the next season was out already!

Fantastic

I don’t know why some people didn’t get this I found it too weird to enjoy. Fantastic story and it was so interesting. Didn’t have the very ending of it but I will definitely listen to another one by the same author and producers. I couldn’t put it down.
