Nova Riley didn’t sign up to save anyone. She’s a hydroponics engineer on a colony ship making a one-way trip to a planet nobody’s ever set foot on. Her job is to keep the crops alive. That’s it.

But the crops are dying, and nobody can figure out why. What starts as a technical mystery quickly becomes something more dangerous. The deeper Nova digs, the more she realizes the problem isn’t in the soil. There are people on this ship who don’t want her asking questions, and the real answer is worse than starvation.

Season 1, told entirely through the colonists’ video journals, follows Nova’s investigation as suspicion and paranoia spread through the ship. Season 2 shifts to video calls between colonists as the political fault lines widen and the conspiracies get harder to ignore.

JijiColony is built on hard science and a detailed production bible, but it lives or dies on its characters. These are ordinary people trapped in an extraordinary situation, millions of miles from help, trying to hold it together while everything falls apart around them. It’s The Expanse meets Firefly with the constraints of Red Dwarf and a no-budget commitment to getting the fundamentals right.
