For All Mankind season 5 gets premiere date as Apple TV+ teases a bold new era

For All Mankind season 5 premieres March 27 on Apple TV+, continuing the series after the explosive Goldilocks arc

Apple TV+ has officially confirmed the first major details for For All Mankind season 5, signaling the return of its acclaimed alternate-history space drama. 

The new season is set to premiere on Friday, March 27, with a single-episode debut followed by weekly releases through May 29. The upcoming installment will consist of 10 episodes.

Season 5 picks up several years after the dramatic events of the Goldilocks asteroid storyline, which marked one of the most ambitious and high-stakes arcs in the series so far. That storyline pushed For All Mankind deeper into speculative science fiction, expanding beyond its Cold War foundations and reshaping the power dynamics of space exploration. According to early details, the series will continue evolving in that direction rather than returning to its earlier political rivalries.

Since its debut, For All Mankind has reimagined the global space race by exploring an alternate timeline in which the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first. Over four seasons, the Apple TV+ drama has steadily escalated its scope, moving from lunar competition to Mars colonization and asteroid mining, while maintaining a focus on character-driven storytelling.

The new season is expected to explore the long-term consequences of humanity’s expanding presence beyond Earth, with rising tensions not only between nations, but also within private space ventures and interplanetary settlements. While Apple TV+ has not yet released a full trailer or detailed plot synopsis, the network has indicated that season 5 will introduce new challenges that test both technological limits and moral boundaries.

For All Mankind has earned consistent praise for blending real-world history with speculative science fiction, and season 5 appears poised to further cement its reputation as one of Apple TV+’s flagship series. More casting updates and story details are expected closer to the premiere date.
