Hilary Swank leads a mission to Mars in Netflix space drama "Away". She launches into space as the leader of the first international crew to Mars. But as capable as she is at the controls of the three-year mission, the decision to leave her husband (Josh Charles) and daughter behind on Earth leads to immediate personal doubt over whether she should've put her career first. She plays Emma Green, America's top astronaut, controversially picked to be commander on the first manned flight to Mars. Alongside her are Misha Popov from Russia (resentful), Lu Wang of China (suspicious), Ram Arya of India (enthusiastic), and Kwesi Weisberg-Adebayo, a complete duffer from Great Britain. The mission's psychological consultant, Putney, has seemingly done a terrible job in vetting them, as even before take-off they are gelling about as well as the gravel in a trifle. Emma is the best astronaut in the world (although Misha has clocked up more space hours) but she has a decidedly cinematic view of leadership. This American science fiction drama web television series, starring Hilary Swank was created by Andrew Hinderaker. It is set to premiere on Netflix on September 4, 2020.
