For All Mankind Renewed for Season 5, New Spin-Off Series Set

For All Mankind, Apple TV+'s critically acclaimed alternate history space race series, has been renewed for another season, plus a spin-off.

I really, really like For All Mankind. It’s a good sci-fi show. It’s not winning any awards for its depiction of the USSR, but it firmly puts the Russians in the antagonist seat, not necessarily the ‘irredeemable evil’ seat.

FAM getting a spin off entirely focused on the Soviet’s perspective during its alternate history is not something I ever expected to see.

Considering that the latest season of FAM establishes the USSR outliving its real-life point of collapse, while retaining its communist values, I hope that this ‘Star City’ spin off is going to be an even more humanizing look at the Soviets.

    I couldn’t even get past the first episode with its US exceptionalist attitude. I don’t really have high hopes for the spinoff.

      I think parts of the later seasons lost that though, they couldn’t resist going hard on the repressed DPRK tropes.

      same :") couldn’t handle it at all
