New On Netflix This Week: 'Away' And 'I'm Thinking Of Ending Things'

Netflix ushers in September with a new space drama starring Hilary Swank and a creepy Charlie Kaufman film about meeting the in-laws.

Swank and Josh Charles play a couple trying to make it work on different planets in Away, which feels less thrilling than it should be despite the fairly good special effects. For something a bit more grounded — and let’s face it, weird — Kaufman’s family drama starring Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemmons is here to scare you off that relationship milestone for good. Seriously, when will people learn not to let Toni Collette throw their dinner party?

Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix this week of September 4.

Away (Netflix series streaming 9/4)

Hilary Swank heads to space in this new sci-fi series that follows an international crew of astronauts going where no man (or woman) has gone before: Mars. Swank plays Emma, a calculated and controlled captain at NASA who leads a team of eclectic geniuses from various ethnic backgrounds — there are astronauts from China, Russia, India, and the UK on board — to the red planet while back home, her husband (Josh Charles) and teenage daughter face their own struggles.

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (Netflix film streaming 9/4)

Charlie Kaufman’s latest film is based on a book of the same name and stars Chernobyl’s Jessie Buckley as a young woman meeting her boyfriend’s parents for the first time, which normally would be a happy event except she’s secretly been planning to break up the with the guy. That guy is Jesse Plemons, who seems to be in everything these days, and along with Toni Collette and David Thewlis who plays his parents, they make for hellish dinner mates.
