Netflix Orders 10-Episode AWAY Series from Andrew Hinderaker

Netflix has given a 10-episode series order to Away, a drama series from playwright Andrew Hinderaker, Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights, Parenthood) and Matt Reeves (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Felicity).

Loosely inspired by Chris Jones' Esquire article of the same name, AWAY is an epic love story and a thrilling tale of survival set against humanity's greatest endeavor - the first human mission to Mars. Emma Green is an American astronaut who must leave her husband and teenage daughter behind in order to command an international space crew embarking upon a treacherous, year-long mission. AWAY is a series about hope, humanity and how ultimately, we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.
