For All Mankind and 6 shows like Away fans should watch

1 of 3

As fans await Netflix’s decision on Away season 2, we compiled a list of shows like Away to keep you occupied in the meantime!

Away captivated audiences across the globe, but we don’t yet know if Netflix will order another season of the space drama. While waiting for news, we created a list of shows with similar themes and ideas to Away to keep you busy! The best part is, all of these shows like Away are available on streaming or VOD.

6. Shows like Away: Parenthood

While Parenthood takes place in a world where all characters remain firmly rooted on Earth, it does share one significant similarity with Away, and that is in executive producer Jason Katims. Katims is the mastermind behind Parenthood and Friday Night Lights, both shows worth watching, especially if you loved the tender moments of Away and its many vital familial relationships.

Parenthood focused on the Braverman family, namely four siblings who share in the ups and downs of parenthood in their California hometown. It also shares similar DNA to the current NBC hit series, This Is Us, although, in my opinion, it’s much better.

5. Shows like Away: The Expanse

If you loved Away but also wished it was a little more sci-fi, then you’ll love The Expanse. The series has been called the space version of Game of Thrones, and it is based on a series of popular novels by James S. A. Corey.

This thriller series is set hundreds of years into the future after humans have succeeded in colonizing the solar system, and Mars has evolved into an independent military power. Tensions between Mars and the Earth are verging on war. Meanwhile, a detective and ship’s captain must work together to investigate the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young woman.

The Expanse is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
