Away Season 2: Is It Renewed Yet?

The first season aired back in 2020 and received mixed reviews from fans and critics. A month later, Netflix decided not to renew the sci-fi for more seasons. It only garnered an approval rating of 59% on Rotten Tomatoes and 59 out of 100 on Metacritic. Thus based on the viewership it received, the streaming giant decided to shun the show. In an interview, the former Netflix Vice President Cindy Holland stated that the renewal announcement is based on viewership and cost graphs. Now that the show didn’t stand up to the mark. Hence there was no point in continuing with the show.

Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the show soon after its first season. Thus there’s no way that the sci-fi will undergo production. However, the showrunner believes the show should have been renewed for two more seasons. So there’s a chance that the showrunner will try to revive the show on another home. Away Season 2 might start production a couple of years later if it happens.
