The For All Mankind season five trailer just dropped, and it looks like the series is ready to light the fuse on its biggest Mars era yet. Apple TV+ launches the new season Friday, March 27, pushing the alt history epic into the 2010s with bigger stakes, bigger missions, and a colony that refuses to stay quiet.
Happy Valley Becomes a True City on Mars
Season five picks up years after the Goldilocks asteroid heist, with Happy Valley now booming into a thriving colony of thousands. Mars has become a launching point for missions that reach deeper into the solar system, but the growth comes with consequences as Earth starts demanding law and order on the Red Planet.
That pressure cranks up friction between the people building a new life on Mars and the nations that still want to control it.
Returning Favorites and Fresh Blood Join the Fight
The ensemble returns with Joel Kinnaman, Toby Kebbell, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña, and Wrenn Schmidt, and the series adds new regulars who should shake up the balance fast. Season five brings in Mireille Enos, Costa Ronin, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz, and Ines Asserson as the show expands its cast for a new decade of alliances, rivalries, and hard choices.
Ronald D. Moore created For All Mankind alongside Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, with Wolpert and Nedivi serving as showrunners. The season continues under the executive producing team of Moore, Wolpert, Nedivi, Maril Davis, Kira Snyder, David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, and Seth Edelstein, with Sony Pictures Television producing for Apple TV+.
When and How to Watch the Next Frontier of For All Mankind
Apple TV+ premieres season five of For All Mankind on Friday, March 27 with one episode, then drops a new episode every Friday through May 29. You can stream the first four seasons right now on Apple TV+ if you want to get fully caught up before Mars becomes the next battleground again.
factual error: The gravity inside the Jamestown lunar base appears to be normal in that the characters are able to work around and handle objects in the same way they would on Earth, even though the force of gravity on the surface of the Moon lower than it is on the surface of the Earth. However, lunar gravity kicks in when the characters are outside the lunar base.
In an alternative 1969, the world, and especially the United States, watch in shock as the Soviet Union successfully manages to land men on the Moon before the USA does. With that defeat, NASA is presented with a renewed challenge in the space race that they never expected to face. Now, the cold war rivalry takes on a new intensity and grander ambition to reach far further than ever dreamed and with more diverse resources than ever before.
In an alternate universe where the Russians beat America to landing men on the moon, For All Mankind is an alternate historical science fiction tale of diplomacy, man, and the seemingly endless reach of the stars. This is where the Cold War never truly ended.
