As the crew's journey into space intensifies, they each deal with their own personal issues.
Netflix said, 'Away shows that sometimes to reach for the stars, we must leave home behind.'

The series spent several weeks in the top 10 Nielsen streaming viewership rankings, according to Deadline.
It even peaked at number two for its first full week of release.
But unfortunately that wasn't enough for Netflix to renew it for another season.
