Away will be a Netflix original production. This means, unfortunately, the series will not be available on Amazon Prime Video, or any additional streaming services. With that in mind, you’ll still be able to stream to your heart’s content from Netflix on your television, laptop, tablet or phone. Depending on your Netflix package, you could even stream it from several of those devices at once if you felt so inclined.
The series will follow Emma Green (Hilary Swank) and a team of international astronauts on the first human-led mission to Mars. The team will face all of the traditional issues of being in space, but we’ll also be getting a prolonged look at what it’s like to be separated from your family in complete isolation for an extended period. That tension will be compounded by how the crew reacts and relates to one another as the deal with these difficult emotional hurdles along with all the challenges that come with living on a spaceship.
