A Week Away is a 2021 Netflix musical film that follows troubled teenager Will Hawkins, who, instead of facing juvenile detention, attends a Christian summer camp. Initially out of place, Will soon finds friendship, faith, and romance, particularly with Avery, a camp regular. Angel Studios has limited information about the show in production, however they do state that “A Week Away” is set to premier on Netflix in the fall of this year, 2025.
“A Week Away” is now in production in the Nashville area and extras with On Location have a casting call out for paid background actors. No experience is required.
