It’s not the series we talk about the most, but there’s no doubt that For All Mankind has managed to find its audience! Proof of that, as the AppleTV+-produced sci-fi series is showing an average viewership rating of 4.2 out of 5 on AlloCiné and is the highest-rated sci-fi show of all time on our site!
It’s fascinating
Airing from fall 2019, For All Mankind is a non-chronic series that imagines a world where the first man to land on the moon would be a Russian, not an American. This simple fact would change the course of history, including – according to the program’s plot – the continuation of the Cold War and the creation of the Space Army.
Highly regarded for its realistic approach, For All Mankind was the American screenwriter Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica). The idea for the program came to the latter during a lunch organized by NASA and during a simple discussion with former astronaut Garrett Reisman.
Spin-off coming soon!
Since then, four seasons have been released, and a fifth has been officially ordered by AppleTV+. It should be noted that this season 5 is not described as the final season, and the platform also has major plans for its series, which it now wants to develop into a franchise.
Thus, Apple also announced a spin-off focused on the Russian point of view. The series, which will be called Star City, will be overseen by the three creators of For All Mankind. The program will look at the history of the landing of Russian cosmonauts on the moon, then the development of the Soviet space force.
The first synopsis describes this all-new series as follows: “Star City takes us back to a watershed moment in the history of the space race, when the Soviet Union became the first country to put a man on the moon.
But this time, we tell you a story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of cosmonauts, engineers and spies employed by the Soviet space program and the risks they took to advance humanity.
The first four seasons of All For Mankind are now available exclusively on AppleTV+.
