Away Season 1 synopsis
Swank stars as Emma Green, an American astronaut who has been given the mission to command a team heading to the international space station. It sounds like a dream, but it means she’ll have to leave her husband and daughter behind. And she’s leaving them for three years.
There are others leaving their loved ones behind, too.
This is more than just a story about a mission in space. There is a story of hope and humanity. It’s about how we all need each other to achieve the impossible.
Away Season 2 renewal news
While you’re watching the series, you’ll want to know if there’s a second season. Right now, Netflix hasn’t renewed or canceled Away. That’s not all too surprising. After all, the show has just dropped, and Netflix rarely renews shows ahead of their release date.
We’ll likely find out within the next couple of months if the show has been renewed.
