'Star City' trailer introduces 'For All Mankind' spinoff
- Apple will premiere the For All Mankind spinoff Star City on May 29, launching with two episodes on Apple TV. The eight-episode series explores the space race from the Soviet Union perspective.
- Set in the 1970s behind the Iron Curtain, creators Matt Wolpert, Ben Nedivi, and Ronald designed the series as a "propulsive paranoid thriller." The show shifts focus from the United States space program to Soviet cosmonauts.
- Welsh actor Rhys Ifans leads the cast as the Chief Designer, starring alongside Anna Maxwell Martin, who portrays senior KGB operative Lyudmilla Raskova. The ensemble also includes Agnes, Adam Nagaitis, and Alice Englert.
- Episodes will follow a weekly rollout pattern through July, though the show functions as a standalone entry point. Viewers do not need prior exposure to For All Mankind to follow the narrative.
- While the original For All Mankind remains a critical success currently airing its fifth season, showrunners emphasized that Star City establishes its own distinct genre. The spinoff aims to add a unique element rather than replicate its predecessor.
