"Starting in 2019, the series has charted a timeline in which the USSR beat the US to the Moon in 1969, and then explored how various dominoes fell after that point. From an alternate 1980s featuring a functional Moonbase to landing on Mars in the 1990s, and now, with Season 5, a full-on Mars rebellion looming, this show is as thought-provoking as it is bold."
"Star City is set to stream this year, in 2026, right after For All Mankind Season 5 concludes. The new show will go back to the 1960s to look at the Soviet point of view of the formative events that shaped For All Mankind. Apple is calling the show a 'paranoid thriller.'"
"Apple TV Star City takes its title from a real place in the USSR where Roscosmos trains its cosmonauts for space travel. For All Mankind has actually visited its version of Star City several times before, notably in Season 2, when NASA astronaut Danielle Poole goes to Star City as part of a joint mission between the US and the USSR."
For All Mankind, an alternate history spaceflight series beginning in 2019, depicts a timeline where the USSR reached the Moon first in 1969, leading to cascading consequences including a functional 1980s Moonbase, Mars landing in the 1990s, and an impending Mars rebellion in Season 5. The franchise now expands with Star City, a spinoff series exploring these events from the Soviet perspective. Star City takes its name from the real USSR cosmonaut training facility and will premiere in 2026 immediately following Season 5's conclusion. The show is framed as a paranoid thriller that traces back to the 1960s formative events preceding For All Mankind Season 1, providing viewers with the Soviet viewpoint of the timeline's pivotal moments.
