For All Mankind Renewed for Sixth and Final Season on Apple TV

Humankind has one more chance to reach for the stars and, perhaps, what’s beyond the Solar System.

Apple TV has renewed For All Mankind for its sixth and final season ahead of Season 5’s premiere this Friday. The ten-episode fifth season will release a new episode weekly until May 29, when its spinoff, Star City, will premiere.

The critically acclaimed sci-fi drama has been one of the streaming platform’s longstanding series, winning several Emmy awards along the way. Celebrating the renewal, creators Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi shared their excitement for the series’ conclusion.

“Getting to explore the For All Mankind universe over six seasons has been an amazing privilege, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to finish the story the way we’ve always hoped,” Wolpert and Nedivi said.

“We’re incredibly proud of what this series has become, and grateful to Apple TV and Sony Pictures Television for helping us see it through to its final chapter.”

“From being one of the first Apple Originals to launch on Apple TV in 2019, For All Mankind has remained an innovative, epic sci-fi series that has enthralled fans season after season,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV, said.

“As one of Apple TV’s most enduring and celebrated series, it has delivered time and again because of the extraordinary artistry of visionary storytellers Ron, Matt, and Ben, along with our partners at Sony, and we can’t wait for people to experience how this story comes to its exhilarating conclusion when the final season debuts next year.”

Fans can expect For All Mankind Season 6 to land on Apple TV in the future. 

According to For All Mankind Season 5’s synopsis, the “series picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist.” Although Happy Valley has grown into a stable colony of its own, the governments of Earth are demanding that law and order be imposed.

Plus, Happy Valley has its own internal problems of its own to overcome.

With a new murder mystery and conspiracies between Earth and Mars increasing suspicions, the colony’s residents must solve these problems before the colony collapses.

Joel Kinnaman, Toby Kebbell, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña, and Wrenn Schmidt are set to return for Season 5.

Additionally, the new series regulars include Mireille Enos, Costa Ronin, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz, and Ines Asserson.

For All Mankind is created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi.

Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, as well as Kira Snyder, David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, and Seth Edelstein.
