Lana CondorandCole Sprouseare going the distance for love.
“I was very excited about it when it came across my desk,” Condor, 24, tells PEOPLE. “I had never really seen a script, at least in my inbox, that was a space adventure situation. From what I know, usually space is reserved for the Matt Damons and the Matthew McConaugheys of the world. It’s not typically available to the young-adult genre.”
“So I was super excited off the bat because it was just a unique project that I don’t really see often,” she adds.
Coming off Netlix’sTo All the Boys I’ve Loved Beforefilm franchise, Condor adds that she looked forward to playing a character who’s “actually my age” since “the past three, four years I’ve been playing much younger characters.”
“It was really refreshing to be able to play an age appropriate character that feels more true to who I am,” she says.

As could be expected, she and herRiverdalealum costar Sprouse, 29, had the “best time on set.”
“Of course, Cole is an incredible actor and an amazing friend. We’d met a couple times previously and he had shot me for a magazine. When I found out Cole was a part of the project, I was really excited because we had always gotten along very well. It felt like I just got to work with afriend, which was really nice. It kind of came together perfectly.”
The star explains that her character and Sprouse’s have an unlikely “slow burn” attraction: “My character is very type-A, planning everything out, and his character is much more go-with-the-flow and doesn’t really have his life together. My character has planned every inch of her life down to the nanosecond, it feels.”
“I’m really excited for people to see it,” she adds.
Moonshotbegins streaming exclusively on HBO Max Thursday, March 31.
