For All Mankind will officially return to our screens in March, and a new image and trailer give us a first look at Season 5.

From Ronald D Moore, Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, the alt-history series explores what would have happened if the global space race had never ended. The series presents an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of a different but pertinent timeline – a world in which the USSR beats the US to the moon.

Season 5 picks up in the years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home. The ensemble cast returning for season five includes Joel Kinnaman, Toby Kebbell, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña and Wrenn Schmidt, alongside new series regulars Mireille Enos (The Killing, Hanna), Costa Ronin (The Americans, Homeland), Sean Kaufman (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ruby Cruz (Bottoms) and Ines Asserson (Royalteen).

Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, as well as Kira Snyder, David Weddle, Bradley Thompson and Seth Edelstein. Nedivi and Wolpert will also showrun a newly greenlit spin-off that will follow the Soviet space programme – and, in For All Mankind style, take us back to that key turning point of the alt-history narrative, when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. A propulsive, paranoid thriller, Star City will explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.

The 10-episode Season 5 will premiere on Friday 27th March, with episodes arriving weekly until the finale on 29th May. Here’s the trailer:

 

Trailer: For All Mankind returns for Season 4

13th October 2023

Season 4 of For All Mankind will land on Apple TV+ this November, and a new trailer gives us a first look at the gold rush in store.

Rocketing into the new millennium in the eight years since Season 3, Happy Valley has rapidly expanded its footprint on Mars by turning former foes into partners. Now 2003, the focus of the space program has turned to the capture and mining of extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. But simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threaten to undo everything they are working toward.

The ensemble cast returning for season four includes Joel Kinnaman, Wrenn Schmidt, Krys Marshall, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu and Coral Peña along with new series regulars Toby Kebbell, Tyner Rushing, Daniel Stern and Svetlana Efremova.

You can see them in action on Friday 10th November, when the 10-episode fourth season debuts on Apple TV+, with new episodes arriving weekly until the finale on 12th January 2024.

 

Apple TV+ renews For All Mankind for Season 4

23rd July 2022

Apple TV+ has given a Season 4 renewal to For All Mankind, its hit space race drama.

From Ronald D Moore, Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, the alt-history series explores what would have happened if the global space race had never ended. The series presents an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of a different but pertinent timeline – a world in which the USSR beats the US to the moon.

Season 3 arrived last month and took a giant leap forward into the the 90s, where a new planetary frontier has sparked another space race: Mars. The characters find themselves going head-to-head as their ambitions for the Red Planet come into conflict and their loyalties are tested, creating a pressure cooker that builds to a climactic conclusion.

“Expansive, emotional, ambitious and thrilling, Season 3 cements For All Mankind as one of the best shows on TV,” we wrote in our review.

Now, ahead of the finale on 12th August, Apple TV+ has announced that the show will once again return for a new season. The news was confirmed during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con, featuring series stars Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Sonya Walger, Krys Marshall, Cynthy Wu, Casey Johnson, Coral Peña, Wrenn Schmidt and Edi Gathegi, along with executive producers Moore, Nedivi, Wolpert and Maril Davis.

Season 4 joins other Apple originals that have been recently renewed, including Loot, Schmigadoon!, Severance, Pachinko, The Afterparty and Slow Horses.

Production will begin on Season 4 next month.
