Hilary Swank Is Headed to Mars in First Teaser Trailer for Netflix's AWAY
Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming sci-fi drama series Away. The movie stars Hilary Swank as Emma Green, an astronaut who embarks on a mission to Mars. This first teaser focuses on the more emotional aspect of the story as Green is thinking about the family she’s left behind.
The 10 episode series comes from producer Matt Reeves (The Batman) and creator Andrew Hinderaker. The movie is loosely inspired by Chris Jones’ Esquire article of the same name, and this is the synopsis:
Away is an epic, emotional story of love and sacrifice set against humanity’s greatest endeavor. In the near future, a manned spacecraft is sent to Mars. For this high-stakes mission, a crew of elite astronauts are assembled from around the globe. They hail from the United States, Russia, China, India, and Great Britain. If all goes well, they will be away from the place they call home and the people they love for three years. During this time, their relationships both on Earth and in space will be tested, as they struggle to stay alive and stay on track in pursuit of humanity’s most important goal. The world will be watching.
It’s explained that the series is about “hope, humanity and how ultimately, we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.” The series also stars Josh Charles (The Good Wife) and Talitha Bateman (Annabelle: Creation), along with Ato Essandoh, Mark Ivanir, Ray Panthaki and Vivian Wu.
The 10 episode series will premiere on the streaming on Friday, September 4th. I also included some photos from the series thanks to EW.
