Apple TV+ took us to the depths of the universe with its series For All Mankind, and its crew will soon continue its space journey. The alternative history sci-fi drama is coming back for Season 5, and Apple TV+ also green-lit its spin-off series Star City.

For All Mankind is set in the alternative universe, where the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon and win the space race. Joel Kinnaman leads the show’s ensemble cast, which also includes Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Wrenn Schmidt, Sonya Walger, Edi Gathegi, and Toby Kebbell over the course of the first four seasons.

Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, confirmed the renewal of this hit series and praised its creative team for capturing global audiences through high-quality storytelling.

 “With each new season, For All Mankind continues to build out a fascinating world and capture global audiences… There is so much to explore and, we along with our partners at Sony, can’t wait to dive into this next chapter of the engrossing For All Mankind universe,” said Cherniss in a statement.

Apple TV+ also ordered a spin-off titled Star City, which will tell the same story from behind the Iron Curtain, through the eyes of cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers from the Soviet space program.
