Away on Netflix tells the emotional tale of the first manned-mission to Mars. While Hilary Swank‘s Emma Green is dealing with the countless deadly threats of a three-year-long journey to and from the red planet, her husband and teen daughter have to handle their own tumultuous challenges down on earth. Almost as soon as Emma and her international crew land on the Moon, Matt Logan (Josh Charles), Emma’s husband, suffers a debilitating stroke. Away is a show about the glory of space travel and the drama of being away from your loved ones right when they need you the most. So will there be an Away Season 2 on Netflix?
As of early September, Away was the number one show and title on Netflix. That means it was a bonkers Labor Day hit and viewers are itching to find out what happens after that emotional Season 1 finale. (Did you tear up a little? I teared up a little.)
So what happens to Emma and her fellow astronauts next? Will Matt make it out of the wheelchair? And, uh, what about those two hella awkward declarations of love thrown Matt and Emma’s respective ways? Here’s everything we know about a possible Away Season 2…

Why Did Netflix Cancel 'Away'? (Hint: The Company's Going Through A Midlife Crisis)
As of October 20, 2020 we can confirm… no.
Netflix announced this morning that despite the show’s early popularity, they will not be planning a second season of the emotional space drama. Sorry to Matt and Emma’s daughter…who really needs her mom home. She’s going to be on Mars forever with her international crew.
WHEN WILL AWAY SEASON 2 PREMIERE ON NETFLIX?
The earliest Away Season 2 would have premiered on Netflix would have been Fall 2021. We’re basing this estimate off the fact that Away Season 1 was in production from August 26, 2019 to February 5, 2020. That means it took a full year from when the cameras started rolling on set to Away Season 1’s debut on Netflix.
However, we now know that Away Season 2 will never be on Netflix. So, pour some Tang out for this one season wonder.
