Launching today, March 27, 2026, Apple TV has officially premiered the first episode of For All Mankind Season 5. The alternate-history series from creators Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi continues its signature tradition of decade-sized time jumps. This season moves the action into the 2010s, following the fallout of the Goldilocks asteroid heist that concluded the fourth season.

The new episodes find the Martian settlement of Happy Valley significantly expanded, evolving from a scientific outpost into a bustling, self-sustaining city. Returning cast members including Joel Kinnaman as Ed Baldwin navigate the shifting power dynamics between Earth’s rival space agencies. According to Apple TV Press, the season will consist of 10 episodes released weekly every Friday.

This premiere comes alongside news reported by Media Play News that Apple has already renewed the hit series for a sixth and final season. Fans of the franchise have even more to look forward to, as a spin-off titled Star City is set to premiere on May 29, 2026 to explore the Soviet side of the space race. For now, viewers can catch the Season 5 premiere of For All Mankind exclusively on the Apple TV streaming platform.
