We left the crew of the Atlas just moments after they touched down on Mars, with the entirety of their 18-month stay on the Red Planet stretching out before them. Much to the shock and disappointment of fans around the world, we'll never find out what happens next, as Netflix has declined to renew the show for a second season. Struggling to make sense of why Netflix would cancel such a popular show? We are too, but we have a few theories as to why Away was axed.

Is Netflix Renewing Away For Season Two?
Netflix has cancelled Away after just one season. The announcement came down about six weeks after the show debuted on Netflix, right on the schedule that showrunner Jessica Goldberg told Esquire she expected to receive the news.

Why was Away Cancelled?
After it landed on Netflix on September 4th, Away rocketed into Netflix’s top ten lineup, even earning the coveted “#1 on Netflix” spot. Away spent several weeks in the top 10 Nielsen streaming rankings, peaking at #2 for its first full week of release. The show’s immediate popularity suggested a speedy renewal, yet we have a few theories as to why Away fell under the axe.

Away reportedly cost Netflix over $6 million per episode, making it one of the most expensive Netflix shows of all time. Certainly those big-budget special effects (fireball in space, anyone?) take time and money to produce—perhaps more than Netflix was willing to spend.
