Apple TV Plus’ For All Mankind is getting a fifth season and a new spinoff series

For All Mankind’s spinoff series will focus on the Soviet space program.

Today, Apple announced that For All Mankind has been renewed for a fifth season that will continue to chronicle the alternate history of a world in which the Soviet Union is the first nation to put a man on the Moon and the United States set out to catch up with its rival. Following the show’s season 4 finale, news of the renewal doesn’t exactly come as a surprise, but Apple also revealed that executive producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi are working on a new series titled Star City, which will dig deeper into the live of the Soviets who changed the arc of human history. Described by Apple as a “propulsive, paranoid thriller,” Star City will focus on the cosmonauts and engineers who poured their lives into the Soviet Space program in order to realize a dream that didn’t always seem possible.
