The Good Wife’s Josh Charles is to join Hilary Swank in Netflix’s Away, in which Swank plays an astronaut who must leave her husband and teenage daughter behind to command an international space crew embarking upon a treacherous mission.
The show is described as “a series about hope, humanity and how we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.”
The series is loosely inspired by the Chris Jones article from ESQUIRE, which documented astronaut Scott Kelly’s mission to space and follows Matt Logan (Charles) faces the already enormous challenges of dealing with the mission from home, while trying to raise their teenage daughter on his own.
When he goes through a life-altering experience in the first episode he will understand the true cost of what it means to be away from each other.
