What do you think they’re gonna do for Away to make room for COVID?

Welp. I saw this earlier when it came in and jokingly thought to myself that the covid situation for Away genre of asks was more popular than I expected except I just saw that it was cancelled so now I’m just sad. Wtf. It was super popular?? In views, anyway. So really, it’s like, what can a show do to succeed if female led and diverse? It can’t be really good but not that watched, like TBH. It can’t be really watched but not that good, like Away. 

And like, they wouldn’t even have had to account for the zero gravity for this season, they could have just faked low gravity out in the desert. Damn…I didn’t expect that. I really wanted to see more of Lu and Mei… I mean, if this treacly family friendly popcorn watching can’t make it, what can? It has to legit just be such a huge unlikely success or it’s done?

if Away will be affected when filming control room scenes, wouldn’t it be the same for For All Mankind too? I think they stopped filming because of covid

Yes, but it probably makes a huge difference that FAM stopped with just a couple of episodes left, compared to a show that has the full season left to shoot AND write. Whatever concessions FAM were going to make for covid, it’d have to work with the plot already written and the eps already shot. Most of what they needed would already have been rented or bought and planned out for and in weighing what to do, they’d have to take into account that the bulk of the season was already done, as opposed to not started at all. As a bunch of renewed shows not yet taping found out when they had the renewal rescinded. And as a matter of fact, I think FAM’s already gone back and finished shooting the leftover eps.

Considering Away s2 hasn’t even been written yet, they’ll have to make wholesale changes from the very start. FAM might have, for example, removed a scene here or some people there, but Away won’t even write them in to begin with.
