GoKawiilThe fifth season of For All Mankind starts streaming today on Apple TV. The long-running space drama rolls out weekly, with new episodes dropping every Friday.
This marks the start of the penultimate season of the series, with production on the sixth and final season already underway. A spin-off show, called Star City, premieres at the end of May.
For All Mankind features a time jump with the start of every new season. The alternative history sci-fi story began with the Soviets beating the United States to land on the Moon first.
Season five picks up in the 2010s, with a base firmly established on the surface of Mars, supporting a population of thousands. But there is tension as governments back on Earth want to be more involved with how the Mars base operates. An unexpected death kicks off a debate about the arrangement of martian law and order.
Joel Kinnaman returns to the cast as astronaut Ed Baldwin under increasingly extreme levels of makeup and prosthetics, with the character now about 80 years old. Fan favorite characters Margo (Wrenn Schmidt), Miles (Toby Kebbell) and Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu) also have prominent storylines in the new season.
You can expect some major dramatic twists across the upcoming ten episodes, as the show is now on the home stretch, with the series finale (season 6) coming next year. It is also drumming up excitement for the spinoff, Star City, which starts streaming on Apple TV the same day as For All Mankind’s season five finale on May 29.
