He explained that he and Goldberg were to design the journey which took off to Mars back in 2018. When it landed successfully it was actually “so exciting and so moving.”
Away Creator Andrew Hinderaker said further, “They’re watching their life’s work either go up in flames or slam onto another planet”. “We all burst into cheers and then one of our writers turned to us and said, ‘Imagine now that there had been people on it.’ So it felt like that’s what we wanted to build to.”
“In terms of Season 2, I always felt like if there was a final card that I would love to have on the season, it would be ‘Away will return for Season 2… on Mars,’ Hinderaker added. “Part of what we’re promising is what that crew experiences at the very end, we now get to live in a new world.”
Away is streaming on Netflix now.
