'For All Mankind' Season 5 shows off Martian motorbiking in Apple TV's 1st teaser trailer (video)
The countdown has begun… no, not for the upcoming Artemis II launch (slated for February), but for Apple TV's compelling space saga "For All Mankind," which will officially lift off for its 10-episode fifth season on March 27, 2026. And now, we’ve got a fresh teaser trailer, poster, and images to prove it.
Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, "For All Mankind" first debuted on Apple TV back in 2019 and centers around the alternative history notion of what would have transpired if the global space race of the '60s and '70s had never ended.
Since its inception, the popular series has explored the intriguing alternative-history world where NASA astronauts, engineers, scientists, and their families find themselves in a skewed timeline where Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov becomes the first man to step onto the surface of the Moon in 1969.
According to the detailed synopsis, this latest season "picks up in the years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home."
"Everything that's happened has led to this moment," actor Joel Kinnaman’s astronaut Ed Baldwin narrates in the teaser as the first Martian, Alex Poletov Baldwin, streaks across dunes on a futuristic motorbike. "You’re gonna do things people can’t even fathom. It’s on you to make the next move."
"For All Mankind's" ensemble cast also includes Toby Kebbell, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña, and Wrenn Schmidt, beside new series regulars Mirelle Enos, Costa Ronin, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz, and Ines Asserson.
Season 5 also showcases Barrett Carnahan as Marcus, a recent high school graduate residing on Mars, and Tyler Labine as a Mars Peacekeeper named Fred, both joining as recurring talent.
