Away season 1 ended on an emotional note. Commander Emma Green, along with fellow astronauts Lu, Ram, Lex, Matt and Kwesi reached Mars and achieved touchdown. The other astronauts’ connections on Earth, just like Emma's with her family, are disturbed. Although the show wasn't able to throw much light on the life of the others back home, a second season could help in doing so. According to popsugar.com, the showrunner Jessica Goldberg felt there was so much more to tell about everybody. She stated that there's a lot to be shown and talked about regarding the life of the astronauts and their closed ones, along with their respective lives after touching down on Mars.

The emotional bonds of an astronaut's life have been explored well in the show, apart from the SciFi aspect of it.

Commander Emma Green herself has a lot to deal with, especially after her husband Matt's diagnosis and her sensitive relationship with her daughter Lex.

Staying away from your family is a difficult task and watching Emma and her crew do it, along with their families back home adjusting to this new life has been a high point in the show, which could definitely be explored more after the show's renewal.
