For All Mankind Season 5 Confirmed, Apple TV+ Reveals Soviet Spinoff Series
Apple TV+ has greenlit a fifth season of its alternate history drama "For All Mankind," alongside a spin-off series titled "Star City," which will delve into the Soviet perspective of the space race. The spin-off is set to explore a key historical moment when the Soviet Union succeeded in sending the first man to the moon, shifting the narrative to focus on the experiences of the cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers within the Soviet space program.
Creators Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi will return to helm both projects, continuing their collaboration with Sony Pictures Television. While "For All Mankind" has established its storytelling with time jumps and the lives of its American characters, "Star City" is described as a robust expansion of the universe, taking on a more paranoid thriller tone. Details regarding the cast, creative team, and premiere dates for "Star City" have yet to be released, leaving questions about potential time jumps and the involvement of "For All Mankind" regulars like Joel Kinnaman and Krys Marshall open. The expansion signifies Apple TV+'s venture into developing franchises from its original programming.
