It tells the story of a group of scientists and astronauts, led by Emma (Swank), on their mission to Mars in the film “Away.”
And while the show’s jaw-dropping fireballs in space undoubtedly left viewers in amazement, it is the message of hope, humanity, and working together to accomplish seemingly unattainable goals that are most likely to be ingrained in the minds and hearts of the audience members.
Is ‘away’ Getting a Second Season?
The status of the renewal as of October 19, 2020, is: Canceled.
Unfortunately, Netflix has decided not to renew ‘Away’ for a second season, according to Variety on October 19, 2020.
We believed that the show’s ranking in the top ten was a favorable indicator for the future. We are aware of Netflix’s preference for high viewership numbers, and we were certain that the show’s success would satisfy the streaming giant sufficiently to secure a renewal.
Unfortunately, this did not transpire in the end. Netflix did not provide an explanation for the cancellation of the show, but Decider came up with three hypotheses.
For starters, it’s possible that it was prohibitively expensive. Second, the significant delays in production caused by the Covid 19 epidemic could contribute to the already high costs of the series, which are already substantial. Last but not least, Netflix does not completely control the series.
Away was marketed as a “Netflix Original,” although it was really produced by NBC Universal, which sold the rights to Netflix in exchange for a small fee. This implies that the series will revert to the control of NBC Universal in the future, which may have put the streaming service off its game.
When Will the Second Season of ‘away’ Be Available on Netflix?
The show is already canceled, therefore we will never longer see season 2 on Netflix in the future (unless the streaming giant changes its mind) (unless the streaming giant changes its mind).

What Could Happen In Season 2 Of ‘Away’?
Before receiving the formal announcement of the show’s discontinuation, writer and executive producer Jessica Goldberg has already written a strategy regarding the show’s direction.
Albeit, to set the expectations straight, this does not feature green men on Mars.
“When I say life, I mean like a microorganism,” Goldberg stated via Inverse. “I don’t mean an alien. The show would never go in that direction.”

In season one, we witnessed five premier space organizations work together to bring the brightest astronauts and scientists to Mars.
There was minimal attention on private-sector space exploration, but Goldberg has indicated this will likely change in the following season.

“I do feel that’s a subject that’s incredibly important,” Goldberg revealed, “Right now, we can’t get anywhere without that private-sector money, and I think it would be amazing to bring that plot in.”
On the other hand, there are also minor nuances that demand attention. ‘Away’ may have fascinated the audience with space exploration tales, but there’s no denying that the show’s center floats around people’s relationships.
How much will the expedition affect the space crew’s relationship with their family and loved ones on Earth while they are millions of kilometers away?
Guess we won’t get our answers anymore unless some other network, streamer, or studio picks the series up.
Who Will Join ‘away’ Season 2’s Cast?
The series is already canceled, thus we are no longer seeing our major cast members back.
Main cast members include Hilary Swank as Emma Green, Josh Charles as Matt Logan, Vivian Wu as Lu Wang, Mark Ivanir as Misha, Ato Essandoh as Kwesi, Ray Panthaki as Group Captain Ram Arya, and Talitha Bateman as Alexis “Lex” Logan, among others.
