Away is the new series taking off on Netflix on Friday 4 September and tells the fictional story of the first team of astronauts to travel to Mars on The Atlas.
The 10-episode drama was inspired by an article written by Chris Jones and published in Esquire in 2014 which documented renowned astronaut Scott Kelly's mission to space.
News24's Lifestyle and Entertainment Editor, Herman Eloff, got to sit down with the international cast of Away to speak about the challenges, chilling parallels between the TV show and our current reality, as well as the emotional impact of leaving everything behind for the greater good of humanity.
