Apple TV+ is gearing up to drop its highly-anticipated fifth season of the sci-fi series "For All Mankind" on March 27, bringing an end to a two-year hiatus. The upcoming installment will feature ten episodes that air weekly, concluding with the final episode on May 29.
To get fans excited for the return of this groundbreaking show, Apple TV+ dropped a short teaser showcasing actor Alex Baldwin – the grandson of Robert Baldwin, one of the original stars – careening around Mars on some sort of motorcycle. While details are scarce, "For All Mankind" initially debuted as an alternate history series exploring what would have happened if Russia had beaten the US to landing on the moon in the 1960s.
However, over time, the show has gained fame for its ability to jump forward in time, taking the story of competing space agencies and their Mars colony into new eras. The upcoming season will take place in an alternate version of the 2010s, where humanity continues to push the boundaries of space exploration.
While some of the original cast members are now significantly older, many returning stars include Joel Kinnaman as Ed Baldwin, Edi Gathegi, Coral Peña, and Wrenn Schmidt. New additions to the lineup include Sean Kaufman, Mireille Enos, Costa Ronin, Ruby Cruz, and Ines Asserson.
Despite not drawing as much attention as some of Apple TV+'s newer sci-fi titles, "For All Mankind" has undoubtedly built a loyal fanbase over its run. The show's recent announcement of a spinoff set in the Soviet Union, titled "Star City," promises to further expand the franchise and bring even more excitement for fans.
