The Soviet Union may have won the race to the Moon, but the real battle is just beginning. Season 5 of For All Mankind gears up for a new kind of launch; one that pushes its bold alternate history even deeper into space. Over the past four seasons, the series has reimagined the consequences of losing the Space Race and the relentless drive to reclaim that power. With each season jumping ahead decades, Season 5 continues a never-ending competition that shows no signs of slowing down.
But at its core, For All Mankind is about the people caught in this conflict. The Season 4 finale ended with a tense fight over the Goldilocks asteroid, a resource criticial to Mars' survival. Allies were murdered, astronauts wounded, others reunited; but the cost was high. Political tensions aside, For All Mankind is a story of betrayal, moral compromise, and the fight to find hope in the chaos.
Created by Ronald D. Moore, Collider's Steven Weintraub has the chance to sit down with co-creators and showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. In this conversation, the three had the chance to discuss what's ahead in Season 5, production for the Star City spin-off series, and how close its future Season 6 may be to the series' end.
For All Mankind Seasons 1–4 are available to stream on Apple TV+.
